18 Welcome to Shanghai Wish Erice Meeting Success!!! Forschungszentrum Zh. Zhang Jülich

19 synchrotron: rapid cycling Pros Compact construction (1-turn injection) good intensity control variable energy operation proven technology for physics applications (KEK, ISIS, J-PARC, RAL) Not yet realized for IBT Cons rapid frequency sweeps high RF voltage (16 kv for H and 100 kv for C) Eddy currents too costly? RCMS by BNL

20 synchrotrons: rapid-cycling Data: S. Peggs

21 FFAG Accelerator Magnetic Fixed Modulated Type Field Variation Frequency Frequency FFAG alternating + IsoC alternating + SynchroC uniform + * First prototype realized in 2000 (KEK)

22 FFAG: scaling vs non-scaling Scaling: B field follows a scaling law as a function of radius - rk (k a constant;) present-day scaling FFAGs: Y. Mori, Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute geometrically similar orbits Nonscaling: Linear (quadrupole) gradient; beam parameters generally vary significantly with energy (EMMA FFAG, Daresbury Laboratory, first nonscaling FFAG) Nonlinear-gradient; beam parameters such as machine tune can be fixed (as in a synchrotron, PAMELA and a new generation of constant-tune, CW FFAGs) compressed orbits Data: C. Johnstone

23 FFAG: Bringing the Community a Step Forward? Advantages of the FFAG : Simplicity of fixed magnetic fields rather than pulsed operation 12 C 6+ Potential for variable energy extraction Strong focusing allows synchrotron-like straights p 3.5 m Goal: lower operational overhead and system simplicity of the cyclotron Data: C. Johnstone

24 FFAG: PAMELA Particle Accelerator for MEdicaL Application Particle physics EMMA ν-factory, muon source, proton driver Medical PAMELA Particle therapy, BNCT, X-ray source Energy (PAMELA) ADSR, Nucl. Transmutation Particle therapy FFAG FFAG ADSR ν-factory CONFORM (Construction of a Non-scaling FFAG for Oncology, Research and Medicine) aims to develop the Non-scaling FFAG as a versatile accelerator. (Project HP: Data: T. Yokoi/J. Pozimski

25 polygonal Summary Talk of the Workshop RACCAM - new layout rectangular This results in : - Smaller overall surface : 3400 m 2 versus 4200 m 2 - A reduction of non-productive surface (e.g., beam transport) - Cost of building reduced : 16 M versus 18 M - Reduced walking distances and flux, both for personnel and patients - Reduced operationnal costs Note: An X-ray radiotherapy center for Toulouse has been proposed by AGC in a bid in 2009, based on this cylindrical layout Data: F. Méot

26 agony of choice Which medical accelerator to choose?

27 agony of choice Which medical accelerator to choose? For MDs the IBT part upstream of the patient is a black box

28 accelerator vs facility costs total facility costs cost of equipment cost of accelerator Varian MEuro MEuro 7-10 MEuro Data: IBA For a multiroom PT facility, the accelerator is NOT the size- and cost-determining factor!

29 Which accelerator to choose? Why do most PT centers use cyclotrons? Why do most IBT centers use synchrotrons? Why do industrial suppliers take the challenge of SC? Antagonism between preference of clients for proven technology and desire of developers for innovation

30 which accelerator to choose? Simplicity, reliability, lower cost and size IBA: i cyclotron, nc Smallest possible footprint and weight, less power consumption Varian: i cyclotron, sc Simple, robust, low voltage, low cost, compact,... T. Antaya, synchrocyclotron, sc Simple, robust, small magnets, light gantry, flexible S. Peggs, RCMS Smaller, simpler, significantly cheaper than synchrotron CONFORM Project: FFAG

31 the benchmark for a new IBT system yr LC 100% 5-yr LC 33.9% 70.4 GyE/16 f./4 wks (0006, n=25) LogRank p< or 57.6 GyE (9602, n=16).2 Sarcomas of the H & N TIME 観察期間 IN ( 月 MONTH ) Data: H. Tsujii

32 clinical operation with various IBT systems Institution Acc 1st pt pt # 12/2010 PTC-H SCS May UFPTI icycl Aug comparable patient numbers with different approaches

33 Which accelerator to choose? Health services have to be economical: accelerator design unconstrained by financial and/or space limitations is not instrumental Balance size of accelerator with special features, e.g., single room vs. tomography option Balance facility cost with patient population, patient share, e.g., max. range vs. 3rd or 4th level care unit

34 efficiency and sustainability reducing weight reducing power consumption reducing neutron activation extending running time and service life saving raw materials/resources give numbers on sustainability!
