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 کاملOptimal Fast Neutron Sources Using Linear Electron Accelerators
Fast neutron sources are designed and experimentally tested, based on optimized conversion targets and linear accelerator as electron suppliers. Both gamma radiation and fast neutron emissions are studied, establishing the most effective characteristics of the targets in terms of material, spatial dimensions, relative position of target and source, incident electron energy. A numerical procedur...
متن کاملAccelerators for Medical Applications
About 50% of the ten thousands particle accelerators at present running in the world are devoted to medical applications. The main areas of use are: (i) radioisotope production, (ii) conventional radiotherapy with electron and photon beams, (iii) oncological hadrontherapy. In this review paper it is shown that in all these areas there are new developments which are scientifically interesting an...
متن کاملOptimization of Medical Accelerators*
The Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) is the aim of a new European training network. OMA joins universities, research centers and clinical facilities with industry partners to address the challenges in treatment facility design and optimization, numerical simulations for advanced treatment schemes, and beam imaging and treatment monitoring. Projects include: compact accelerators for pr...
