1 IRRADIATION ACTIVITY WITH THE TOP-IMPLART PROTON LINEAR ACCELERATOR Monia Vadrucci - ENEA 16 th June 2017
2 Abstract A proton linear accelerator devoted to protontherapy application, is under construction in the Particle Accelerators and Medical Applications Laboratory at the ENEA Frascati research center in the framework of the TOP (Terapia Oncologica con Protoni) IMPLART (Intensity Modulated Proton Linear Accelerator for RadioTherapy) project funded by the regional government of Lazio in Italy. The proton linac is composed by a modular sequence of RF linear accelerators designed to reach the energy of 150 MeV. The beam features, particularly useful for very conformal irradiation of tumours in complex anatomical regions, can be likewise translated to other situations. Therefore, during the process of commissioning of the TOP-IMPLART accelerator, the beam has been also made available as a versatile proton source for ancillary experiments in the framework of other projects. Presently, indeed, the maximum TOP-IMPLART beam energy is 35 MeV and this section delivers a 3 usec pulsed beam at maximum repetition frequency of 25 Hz with a variable charge in each pulse in the range pc. This beam is used for pilot experiments to simulate cosmic conditions on the ground and PIXE (Particle Induced X-ray Emission) analysis for the determination of elemental composition of archeological and old painting samples.

16 TOP-IMPLART Machine It is the first linac running with 3GHz SCDTL (Side Coupled DTL) accelerating modules. Each SCDTL section is powered by a 10 MW peak power klystron tube. The first section, consisting of 4 modules (7 to 35 MeV) has been completed and is operational at low repetition rate (25 Hz). The second section, consisting of other 4 modules (up to 71 MeV), is currently under executive design. The output beam at each stage of the progressive commissioning is fully characterized. The beam is routinely employed in radiobiology experiments and detector evaluation 16
