Electron Cooling Experiments at Himac Synchrotron
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron-cooling experiments have been carried out at the HIMAC synchrotron in order to develop new technologies in heavy-ion therapy and related researches. The cool-stacking method, in particular, has been studied to increase the intensity of heavy-ions. The simulation was carried out to optimise the cool-stacking under various injection periods. Further, the beam heating by RF-KO was applied to suppress the transverse instability occurred when the ion density was increased.

Synchrotron Control System of Himac
HIMAC, Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba, has been in operation for about 8 years. The control system of HIMAC synchrotron is now undergoing renewal and upgrade. As a medical accelerator in use, reliability and availability of the beam must not be compromised in HIMAC. We decided to change most computers of the system in a node-by-node way, over a couple of years. Among the replaced are: P...
متن کاملCommissioning and Performance of the HIMAC Medical Accelerator
Heavy ions show the excellent dose concentration especially at a position located deep in a human body. This character of heavy ions are well suited for the medical treatment of the cancer. A heavy ion synchrotron complex, HIMAC, has been constructed at NIRS for this purpose. The HIMAC accelerator consists of an injector linac, a couple of synchrotron rings, long and complicated beam transport ...
متن کاملTherapy at HIMAC
The HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba) facility is the first heavy-ion synchrotron complex dedicated to medical use in a hospital environment. As a part of ‘the Comprehensive 10-year Strategy for Cancer Control’ begun by the Japanese Government in 1984, the project for construction of the HIMAC was carried out at National Institute of Radiological sciences (NIRS), Science and Techno...
متن کاملElectron Cooling Assisted Beam Accumulation in the Heavy Ion Synchrotron Sis by Repeated Multiturn Injection
The heavy ion synchrotron SIS has been equipped with an electron cooling system for fast beam accumulation at the injection energy. Optimization of injection and cooling resulted in synchrotron pulses with more than an order of magnitude higher intensity. For highly charged ions the intensity is limited by recombination with free electrons. The rate coefficients have been measured thus allowing...
متن کاملKlein-Nishina Effects on Optically Thin Synchrotron and Synchrotron Self-Compton Spectrum
We present analytic approximations to the optically thin synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) spectra when Klein-Nishina (KN) effects are important and pair production and external radiation fields can be neglected. This theory is useful for analytical treatment of radiation from astrophysical sources, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), active galactic nuclei and pulsar wind nebula, whe...
