Description

A dedicated accelerator facility for cancer treatment is planned for the university hospital in Heidelberg. At GSI the detailed layout of this heavy ion cancer therapy (HICAT) facility has been worked out. The relevant beam parameters and the required diagnostic devices are summarized for the different parts of the facility (Linac, Synchroton, transfer lines and Gantry sections). In addition, special requirements of beam diagnostics concerning the timing and control system will be discussed
