Development of compact proton synchrotron with combined function dedicated for cancer therapy

  • 1. Kyoto Univ., Uji (Japan). Inst. for Chemical Research

Description

A compact proton synchrotron with combined function lattice has been developed to be dedicated for cancer therapy. Its maximum energy and the circumference are 250 MeV and 23.9 m, respectively. A ring with 6-fold symmetry composed of 6 identical combined function magnets of the focusing structure of FDF has been adopted in order to avoid the effect of sector resonances. By the calculation with use of 3 dimensional code TOSCA, the operation point of the betatron oscillations is expected to remain well close to the desired value of (1.70, 1.75) in the wide excitation level up to 1.35 T.
