Beam Injection and Extraction of Scent300, a Superconducting Cyclotron for Hadrontherapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
SCENT300 is a superconducting cyclotron able to deliver proton and carbon beam at 260 and 300 AMeV respectively. The simulations of the beam injection through the central region, the beam extraction through the electrostatic deflector for Carbon beam and by stripper foil for the proton beam are here presented.

Cyclinac Medical Accelerators Using Pulsed C/H2 Ion Sources
Charged particle therapy, or so-called hadrontherapy, is developing very rapidly. There is large pressure on the scientific community to deliver dedicated accelerators, providing the best possible treatment modalities at the lowest cost. In this context, the Italian research Foundation TERA is developing fast-cycling accelerators, dubbed ‘cyclinacs’. These are a combination of a cyclotron (acce...
متن کاملA Compact Multiply Charged Ion Source for Hadrontherapy Facility
The ion sources for accelerators devoted to medical applications must provide intense ion beams, with high reproducibility, stability and brightness. AISHa (Advanced Ion Source for Hadrontherapy) is a compact ECRIS whose hybrid magnetic system consists of a permanent Halbach-type hexapole magnet and a set of independently energized superconducting coils. These coils will be enclosed in a compac...
متن کاملEffects of Vertical Misalignment of Superconducting Coils in Cyclotrons
Introduction The vertical misalignment of coil fields with respect to iron fields in cyclotrons can lead to significant beam losses in the course of beam extraction. During commissioning of the Coupled Cyclotron Project at the NSCL unusually high beam losses have been observed on an extraction magnetic element of the K500 cyclotron. The beam loss was first observed on the beam current profiles ...
متن کاملA Compact Superconducting Cyclotron for the Production of High Intensity Protons*
This paper reviews a study of a compact superconducting cyclotron to accelerate 200 microamps of protons to 250 MeV. The basic cyclotron structure is the same as that developed in a previous study of a 250 MeV cancer therapy cyclotron, the chief difference in the study reported here being much higher beam current (x10,000) than in the therapy cyclotron to meet desired specifications for the ‘Dr...
متن کاملCABOTO, a high-gradient linac for hadrontherapy
The field of hadrontherapy has grown rapidly in recent years. At present the therapeutic beam is provided by a cyclotron or a synchrotron, but neither cyclotrons nor synchrotrons present the best performances for hadrontherapy. The new generation of accelerators for hadrontherapy should allow fast active energy modulation and have a high repetition rate, so that moving organs can be appropriate...
