Fast Scanning Beamline Design Applied to Proton Therapy System Based on Superconducting Cyclotrons

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Proton therapy is recognized as one of the most effec-tive radiation therapy method for cancers. The super-conducting cyclotron becomes an optimum choice for delivering high quality CW proton beam with features including compactness, low power consuming and higher extraction efficiency. This paper introduces de-sign considerations of the beamline with fast scanning features for proton therapy system based on supercon-ducting cyclotrons. The beam optics, the energy selec-tion system (ESS) and the gantry beamline will be de-scribed.
