The Racetrack Microtron as a Negative Pion Source for Radiotherapy
Should clinical trials indicate that negative pion therapy is an improvement over present radiotherapy techniques, reliable pion sources of acceptable cost and size will be required at a number of major medical centers. A 300 KW, 500 MeV electron racetrack microtron is proposed which employs conventionalaccelerator guides andwhich can meet hospital requirements oncost, space and operalional rel...
متن کاملA Novel Racetrack Microtron Accelerating Structure
We have designed, constructed, and evaluated a Rectangular Cavities Biperiodic Structure prototype for our compact 70 MeV pulsed RaceTrack Microtron [1]. We present here the design details and test measurements.
متن کاملSimulations of Racetrack Microtron for Acceleration of Picosecond Electron Pulse
Low emittance sub-picosecond electron pulses are expected to be used in a wide field, such as free electron laser, laser acceleration, femtosecond X-ray generation by inverse Compton scattering, and pulse radiolysis, etc. In order to produce the low emittance sub-picosecond electron pulses, we are developing a compact racetrack microtron (RTM) with a new 5 MeV injection system adopting an laser...
متن کاملDaily dosimetric quality control of the MM50 Racetrack Microtron using an electronic portal imaging device.
The MM50 Racetrack Microtron, suited for advanced three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy techniques, is a complex machine in various respects. Therefore, for a number of gantry angles, daily quality control of the absolute output and fluence profiles of the scanned beams are mandatory. For the applied photon beams, a fast method for these daily checks, based on dosimetric measurements with th...
متن کاملBenchmarking of the dose planning method (DPM) Monte Carlo code using electron beams from a racetrack microtron.
A comprehensive set of measurements and calculations has been conducted to investigate the accuracy of the Dose Planning Method (DPM) Monte Carlo code for dose calculations from 10 and 50 MeV scanned electron beams produced from a racetrack microtron. Central axis depth dose measurements and a series of profile scans at various depths were acquired in a water phantom using a Scanditronix type R...
