4 Accelerator Complex for Particle Beam Therapy

Accelerator Complex for a Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Atlas

Since the superconducting heavy ion linac ATLAS is an ideal post-accelerator for radioactive beams, plans are being developed for expansion of the facility with the addition of a driver accelerator, a production targethon source combination, and a low q/m pre-accelerator for-radioactive ions. A working group including staff from the ANL Physics Division and current ATLAS users are preparing a r...

Beam Position Monitors for the Tesla Accelerator Complex

An overview on beam position monitoring at the Tesla linear collider is given. Basic principles and technology details of BPM pickup's and their read-out electronics are discussed. Experience with di erent types of BPM systems, made at the Tesla Test Facility Linac, at Hera, and at other accelerators, are considered and lead to the proposed BPM solutions.

Visualization of Particle Beam Simulations in the IFMIF-EVEDA Accelerator

Using the SDvision 3D visualization software developed within the framework of IDL Object Graphics at CEA/IRFU, we have visualized the travel of charged particles in the IFMIFEVEDA accelerator. Simulations visualized here were made for a beam composed of 1 million macroparticles. To ensure that beam losses do not exceed 1W/m in the high energy part, simulations with 4,000,000,000 particles were...

A New Type of Accelerator for Charged Particle Cancer Therapy

Non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient accelerators (ns-FFAGs) show great potential for the acceleration of protons and light ions for the treatment of certain cancers. They have unique features as they combine techniques from the existing types of accelerators, cyclotrons and synchrotrons, and hence look to have advantages over both for this application. However, these unique features me...
