Description

We report design and optimization of beam delivery system for proton and heavy ion particles, which will be constructed in charged particle therapy facility in Hyogo Prefecture. Penumbra sizes were calculated for different systems to optimize device parameters under considering effects of multiple scattering and energy loss of beam. It was found that penumbra size of carbon ion beam was about three times smaller than that of proton, and that devices which affect physically in particle delivery system should be placed as upstream as possible to reduce penumbra size.
