ID : 1088 ! Fixed Field Alternating Gradient Accelerators ( FFAG ) for Fast Hadron Cancer Therapy
Cancer accelerator therapy continues to be ever more prevalent with new facilities being constructed at a rapid rate. Some of these facilities are synchrotrons, but many are cyclotrons and, of these, a number are FFAG cyclotrons. The therapy method of “spot scanning” requires many pulses per second (typically 200 Hz), which can be accomplished with a cyclotron (in contrast with a synchrotron). ...
متن کامل1.1 FFAG Accelerators and Storage Rings
Fixed Field Alternating Gradient accelerators (FFAGs) offer higher pulse repetition rates and acceptances than synchrotrons – and therefore much higher beam intensities. With a fixed magnetic field the rep rate is set by purely rf considerations, and can be several kHz, while the radially extended spiral orbit and high momentum compaction lead to large radial and momentum acceptances – at the c...
متن کاملOptimising Neutron Production from Compact Low Energy Accelerators
There is currently much development in accelerator based methods to provide flexible and reliable neutron generators, in response to a decline in the availability of nuclear reactors. In this paper the focus is on neutron production via a low energy DC proton accelerator (1-10 MeV) and light target system. GEANT4 simulations are being used to study various aspects of target design, beginning wi...
متن کاملApplications of Low Energy Accelerators in China
In recent years, low energy accelerators has been rapidly developed for medical and industrial applications. This paper presents the current applications of accelerators for radiotherapy, electron-beam irradiation processing, production of radioactive isotopes, electronbeam coal-fired flue gas treatment, container inspection for customs and radiography. There are about 600 sets of electron lina...
متن کاملAccelerators for Medical Applications
About 50% of the ten thousands particle accelerators at present running in the world are devoted to medical applications. The main areas of use are: (i) radioisotope production, (ii) conventional radiotherapy with electron and photon beams, (iii) oncological hadrontherapy. In this review paper it is shown that in all these areas there are new developments which are scientifically interesting an...
