Conceptual Design Study of 13 MeV Proton Cyclotron

Conceptual design of the superconducting magnet for the 250 MeV proton cyclotron

BACKGROUND The superconducting cyclotron is of great importance to treat cancer parts of the body. To reduce the operation costs, a superconducting magnet system for the 250 MeV proton cyclotron was designed to confirm the feasibility of the superconducting cyclotron. FINDINGS The superconducting magnet system consists of a pair of split coils, the cryostat and a pair of binary high temperatu...

PROTON RADIOGRAPHY EXPERIMENT BASED ON A 100 MeV PROTON CYCLOTRON*

A proof-of-principle test-stand for proton radiography is under construction at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). This test-stand will utilize the 100 MeV proton beam provided by the compact cyclotron CYCIAE-100, which has been built in the year of 2014, to radiograph thin static objects. The assembling of the test-stand components is finished by now. We will carry out the first proton r...

Optimized Magnet for a 250 Mev Proton Radiotherapy Cyclotron

COMPACT SUPERCONDUCTING 250 MeV PROTON CYCLOTRON FOR THE PSI PROSCAN PROTON THERAPY PROJECT

A cyclotron for proton therapy has to fulfil many requirements set by the specific operational and safety needs of a medical facility and the medical environment. These are for instance high extraction efficiency, high availability and reliability, simple and robust operation. ACCEL Instruments GmbH has refined the design concept of a medical cyclotron for the PSI PROSCAN project with the objec...

Design of 100 Mev Proton Beam Irradiation Facility for the Pefp 100 Mev Linac *

The Proton Engineering Frontier Project (PEFP) will install a 100-MeV proton linear accelerator at Gyeong-ju site. For the beam commissioning of 100 MeV proton linac, the two target rooms (TR 103, TR 23) will be prepared as a starter among 10 target room. To design the irradiation equipment in TR 103, we have investigated general propagation shape and spatial distribution of proton beam, when 1...
