HIT Linac upgrade
نویسندگان
چکیده
The overall achieved transmission for carbon ions through the injector linac at the Heidelberg ion therapy HIT did not ecxeed 30 % due to a mismatch of the beam at the RFQ entrance [1]. Thus a detailed upgrade programm has been started to exchange the RFQ with a new input radial matcher (IRM) design, to correct the misalignment and to optimize beam transport to the IHDTL. The aim is to achieve a sufficient overall linac transmission above 60%.

Operation of the Linac and the Linac Rf System for the Ion-beam Therapy Center Heidelberg
The Heidelberg Ion Therapy Center HIT is in clinical operation since 2009. It is the first dedicated European particle accelerator for medical treatment. Its central location on the campus of the Heidelberg University Hospital fits perfectly in the clinical everyday life. The accelerator complex consists of a linear accelerator and a synchrotron and is designed for protons and carbon ions, but ...
متن کاملStudy of the NLC Linac Optics Compatible with a Low Energy Scenario 1
We explore the NLC linac optics compatible with a low energy scenario where initially only part of the full linac is installed. Optics modification suitable for a low energy beam running and upgrade to the nominal energy is discussed. Linac parameters and beam tolerances in the modified lattice are compared to the nominal design. Abstract We explore the NLC linac optics compatible with a low en...
متن کاملPower Upgrade of J-parc Linac
The linac power upgrade program is now in progress, after a successful recovery from the earthquake disaster. The power upgrade includes an ion source, a RFQ, and a 400 MeV annular-ring coupled structure (ACS) linac. We started a full-scale development of a cesium-seeded RFdriven negative hydrogen ion source. The ion source extracted a beam current of more than 60 mA with a duty factor of 2.5 %...
متن کاملA New 180 MeV H Linac for Upgrades of ISIS
Several options have been studied to raise the beam power of the ISIS spallation neutron source to a level of 1 MW with the possibility of going to 4-5 MW in the longer term [1]. All scenarios can operate in 2 modes, where the beam power is either delivered to a spallation target or, alternatively, to a target suitable to produce muons via pion decay for a neutrino factory. A more recent upgrad...
متن کاملUpgrade of Linac Control System with New Vme Controllers at Spring-8
We integrated an injector linac control system to the SPring-8 standard system in September 2000. As a result of this integration, the SPring-8 accelerator complex was controlled by one unified system. Because the linac was continuously running as the electron beam injector not only for the SPring-8 storage ring but also for NewSUBARU, we had to minimize the hardware modification to reduce the ...
