  4. Scaling FFAG to NS-FFAG In fixed field accelerator (FFAG, cyclotron)….. Easiness of control  Hardness of commissioning and tuning In fixed field accelerator (FFAG, cyclotron)….. Ease of control  Difficulty of commissioning and tuning All FFAGs so far built are designed to form scaling magnetic field Hard to change operating point after construction KEK 150MeV FFAG In PAMELA, each multipole field up to decapole can be tuned individually.  Flexible tunability of operating point. “Separated function FFAG” Accelerator for cancer therapy By T.Yokoi

PAMELA:Particle Acceleratorfor MEdicaL Applications Spot scanning FFAG Integrated current Step size controls dose time “Digital IM” Beam intensity is modulated depth-wise proton photon From PSI website • Advantage of particle therapy ( X-ray) • (1) better dose concentration • (2) better biological effectiveness • PAMELA : design study of particle therapy facility using NS-FFAG  Prototype of versatile FFAG (ex ADSR) • Advantage of NS-FFAG as particle therapy accelerator • (1) High intensity(synchrotron) • (2) Flexible machine operation (cyclotron) • Spot scanning with proton and carbon beam is aimed to realize in PAMELA (better conformal dose field). • IMPT (Intensity Modulated Particle therapy) requires high repetition rate Accelerator for cancer therapy By T.Yokoi
