  1. Small proton therapy accelerator by non-scaling FFAG Dejan Trbojevic-BNL, Eberhard Keil-CERN, and Andrew Sessler-LBL • Introduction: • Proton/carbon therapy – very fast growing field – very large number of facilities. • competition within proton therapy machines today: synchrotrons, cyclotrons, FFAG’s, …. • IBA, Siemens, Varian-ACCEL, Hitachi, Austron, … • Is there a reason to compete? price, circumference, fastest treatment rate, scanning-(treatment length), total ammount of steel • Properties of the lattice: • Basic cell orbits • radius, magnetic fields, aperture (orbit offsets), betatron functions, energy range, available drift space for cavities and exctraction/injection … • Acceleration: • Fast phase adjustments each turn- similar to the harmonic number jump. • Results from the six dimensional tracking studies • Concerns: • resonance crossing, fringe fields, emittance preservation, exctraction/injection, size of the RF power … • Summary FFAG08 Manchester Workshop – Dejan Trbojevic

  2. Introduction hadron therapy: From Steve Peggs PAC07 talk: • 1 in 3 Europeans will confront some form of cancer in their lifetime. • Cancer is the 2nd most frequent cause of death. • Hadron therapy [protons, carbon, neutrons] is 2nd only to surgery in its success rates. • 45% of cancer cases can be treated, mainly by surgery and/or radiation therapy.

  3. Introduction: • Hadron (proton, carbon, neutron) therapy machines today: • synchrotrons, cyclotrons, FFAG’s, …. • Private companies producing them: IBA, Siemens, Varian-ACCEL, • Hitachi, ……. • Are there reasons to get involved? • Price might be to high? • Size might be to large for a hospital? circumference, magnets? • Rate for treatment could be faster? • A total ammount of steel could be smaller? • The energy and intensity modulation could be improved?

  16. The cavity is about $1million. A 100 kW driver is about $1 million Imagine a bunch train that fills about half the ring at injection We have about 80 nanoseconds to change the cavity frequency when there is no beam (depends on energy) With Q=50 and fres=370 MHz the exponential decay time for the field is 43 nanoseconds. Two e-folding times is pretty good so I’ll assume the voltage is limited by power Can take about 20 kV of synchronous voltage. FFAG08 Manchester Workshop – Dejan Trbojevic

  30. MOTIVATION • Comparable (synchrotrons ~C=60m) or smaller size (cyclotrons are smaller but definitelly require large ammount of steel). • Fast acceleration rate. • Energy scanning simple: single turn exctraction at required energy. • No radiation loss (cyclotrons have unavoidable activation due to losses inside of cyclotrons as well as from the raster to allow the required energy range. • Easy to operate because of the fixed and linear dependence of the magnetic field. • Small orbit offsets – small aperture. • RESONANCE crossing • End magnetic field effect • Large power for the RF CONCERNS: FFAG08 Manchester Workshop – Dejan Trbojevic
