  1. ACTIVITIES AND PLANS TERA Foundation (Created in1992) UgoAmaldi University of Milano Bicocca and TERA Foundation

  2. 1st program: design and Government approval of National Centre for carbon ions (and protons) Construction and commissioning by CNAO Foundation and INFN : 2005-2011 in Pavia Synchrotron building Hospital bulding

  3. The PIMMS-TERA synchrotron hall 1 RF cavity 7 MeV/u Linac 2 sources hall 2 betatron sources linac hall 3 linac quadrupole Bnding magnets RF cavity

  4. CNAO in Pavia = Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica September 2011: first patient By December 2012: about fifty patients

  5. 2nd program: development and construction of « cyclinacs » HIGH REP RATE PULSED SPOT WITH FAST INTENSITY AND ENERGY MODULATION indipendent RF power sources tumour target to the patient RF units pulsed source 100-300 Hz 4 microseconds CYCLOTRON

  6. LInac BOoster = 3 GHz module built by CERN-INFN-TERA Standing wave CELL COUPLED LINAC 16 MV/m maximum surface electric field = 5 average acceleration field

  7. LIBO 3 GHz module built by CERN-INFN-TERA accelerated protons Standing wave CELL COUPLED LINAC maximum surface electric field 200 MV/m = 5 = average acceleration field 40 MV/m CLIC = 2

  8. A.D.A.M. is a CERN spin-off company Applications of Detectors and Accelerators to Medicine 42 MeV Commercial product 30 MeV

  9. Construction project: Pediatric proton centre with radioisotopes production 3 2 1 30 MeV cyclotron 230 MeV linac 22 MV/m 30 MeV cyclotron Radiopharmacy

  10. TERA tests on high gradients at 3.0 and 5.7 GHz TERA 3 GHz SW Modified Poynting vector Breakdown model by A. Grudiev, S. Calatroni and W. Wuensch - 2009

  11. Design project A: cyclinac for carbon ions (radioresistanttumours) 150 MeV/u Linac for Image Guided Hadron THerapy LIGHT 150-400 MeV/u 410 MeV/u 30 MV/m CABOTO – C = CArbon BOoster for Therapy in Oncology

  12. Design project B: cyclinac for single-room protonfacility 230 MeV TUrning LInac for Protontherapy 24 MeV 30 MV/m – BDR = 10-6 m-1 TR 24 by ACS Inc.

  13. Design project B: cyclinac for single-room protonfacility

  14. Next step: from 30 MV/m to 50 MV/m TERA – TULIP-24 PSI – compact Gantry2

  15. waveguide accelerating cavities coupling cavities  A. Grudiev; I. Syratchev; W. Wuensch  CLIC + TERA New “backward” TW structure ‘NEW’ bwTW 50 MV/m BDR = 10-6 m-1 (20% more powerf for same gradient) ‘OLD’ SW CCL 30 MV/m BDR = 10-6 m-1 With recirculation A. Degiovanni: High gradient proton accelerating structures

  16. Physics is beautiful and useful

  17. Consequencesof the 3 GHz test for TERA Expected E0 for BDR = 10-6 bpp/m, according to fit models (dotted lines), is 31– 37 MV/m (respectively, stress model and power flow model). * and same pulse length Measured BDR for E0=26 MV/m* (equivalent to 37 MV/m in CABOTO) is 3 · 10-6 bpp/m.
