  1. EMMA/BASROC/CONFORM etc: FFAG developments at the Cockcroft Institute Cockcroft SAC - 26 November 2007 Roger Barlow

  2. BASROC • British Accelerator Science Radiation Oncology Consortium • An association of universities and institutes (Cockcroft and Adams!). Group came together out of PPARC meeting aimed at raising accelerator activity outside particle physics • Aim to build a complete hadron therapy facility using an NS-FFAG. • Hope to increase use of accelerators, their manufacture, R and D etc in the UK • General umbrella for CONFORM and other projects, e.g. Medical Instrumentation Meeting Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  3. CONFORM • Construction Of a Nonscaling FFAG for Oncology, Research and Medicine • Project (first of many?) produced by BASROC • Successful bid last year to Basic Technology fund for £8M • Outline proposal put together – selected for consideration • Full proposal written across many institutes and submitted through Manchester. Interviewed by panel. • Funded in full – announcement 12 months ago • Started 1st April 2007 Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  4. 3 Components • EMMA: Construction of the first NS FFAG to prove the principle, and study behaviour. £5.3m over 3.5 year project lifecycle (Equipment £3.8m, Staff £1.5m) • PAMELA: Design of a hadron therapy machine funding - £865k • Applications: exploitation of other areas where an FFAG could be used funding - £273k Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  5. People Roger Barlow (CONFORM PI), Neil Bliss (CONFORM PM and EMMA PM) Ken Peach(PAMELA PM), Ian Gardner (PAMELA PI), Rob Edgecock (EMMA PI), Karen Kirkby (Applications PI), Bob Cywinski (Applications PM) Gillies McKenna, Jűrgen Pozimski, Boris Voynovic, Alex Elliott, Bleddyn Jones Stefan Tzenov, Bruno Muratori, Hywel Owen, Sue Smith, Peter Macintosh, Neil Marks, Ben Shepherd, … and many others Pat Gorham, Cristian Bungau, Sam Tygier Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  7. EMMA Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  8. EMMA Magnets Magnet prototypes produced by TESLA Being measured and understood Production magnet tender open Delivery Summer 08 Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  9. 110 mm Cavity machined form 3 pieces and EB welded at 2 locations Input coupling loop Coolant channels Aperture Ø 40 mm Probe EVAC Flange Capacitive post tuner Normal conducting single cell re-entrant cavity design EMMA RF Prototypes ordered – Delivery January OJEC notice December Place contract March Delivery June-August 2008 Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  10. Screen Cavity Septum Cavity Kicker Kicker Injection Injection Region Not easy! But possible. Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  11. Quadrupole x 3 Screen Screen or Wire Scanner Spectrometer (extracted momentum) Screen BPMs F/Cup New Dipole 21° & BPMs New Quadrupole x 9 Screen x 3 Tomography Section (emittance measurement) Resistive Wall Current Monitor Slit DIAGNOSTIC BEAMLINE PHASE 2 EMMA Extraction Diagnostics Not all affordable FP7 bid for full set Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  12. EMMA summary Final Design Review Daresbury 10-11 Dec Main components on site by 1st Aug 08 Assembly on girders June 08-Jan 09 Assembly in hall Jan -May 09 Installation and testing Jun-Aug 09 Operation in September 09 Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  13. PAMELA • Clinical Hadron Therapy machine, probably at Oxford • Carbon is essential. Proton solution is commercially available. • 3-ring solution (Keil and Trbojevic) or 1 ring (Koscielniak and Johnstone) • Workshop next summer to settle final parameters Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  14. Applications • Cell Irradiation – Surrey post filled. Answer questions about dosage, Ion types, etc • ADSRs – Manchester+Leeds. Additional grant obtained to look at energy possibilities. • Neutrons: Leeds post now being advertised Roger Barlow: FFAG developments

  15. Future • ADSR workshop here January 7/8 • EMMA construction and commissioning 2008 on • FFAG2008 workshop in Manchester, September • Working nsFFAG at Daresbury in September 2009 Roger Barlow: FFAG developments
