AbstractAbstract
[en] Heavy-ion cancer therapy using the Heavy-Ion Medical Accelerator synchrotron in Chiba (HIMAC) has been administered to more than 9000 patients since 1994. We started the heavy ion cancer therapy using a 3-D scanning irradiation system in May 2011, at New Particle Therapy Research Facility in NIRS. In order to enhance the treatment quality by achieving a precise dose control, we have continued some R and Ds on HIMAC synchrotron and its irradiation system, such as a multiple-energy synchrotron operation with stepwise flattops and development of an isocentric superconducting rotating-gantry. This paper outlines those R and Ds as well as the present status of HIMAC accelerator facility. (author)
