Beam - Beam Interaction Working Group summary
For a moment consider a single beam in a storage ring. Individual particle motions are linear at small amplitudes with tunes, optical functions, and, in the case of electrons, synchrotron radiation properties determined by the dipoles, quadrupoles, and RF system. At larger amplitudes, intentional and unintentional field ndinearities lead to amplitude dependent tunes, nonlinear resonances, and a...
متن کاملStatus of Electron Beam Ion Sources for Particle Therapy∗
The technical performance of ion sources of the Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) type has substantially improved during the last years. This is demonstrated by proof-ofprinciple experiments which have been done using a roomtemperature EBIS, a so-called Dresden EBIS-A, which has been in use for several years. A new superconducting EBIS, a so-called Dresden EBIS-SC, has been taken into operation. ...
متن کاملBeam Monitors of Nirs Fast Scanning System for Particle Therapy
At National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), more than 6500 patients have been successfully treated by carbon-ion beams since 1994. The successful results of treatments have led us to construct a new treatment facility equipped with three-dimensional pencil beam scanning irradiation system. The commissioning of NIRS fast scanning system installed into the new facility was started in S...

متن کاملDosimetric consequences of pencil beam width variations in scanned beam particle therapy.
Scanned ion beam delivery enables the highest degree of target dose conformation attainable in external beam radiotherapy. Nominal pencil beam widths (spot sizes) are recorded during treatment planning system commissioning. Due to changes in the beam-line optics, the actual spot sizes may differ from these commissioning values, leading to differences between planned and delivered dose. The purp...
