1 Summary of Synchrotron for Hadron Therapy April 30, 09 Koji Noda 1. G.H. Rees ; A New Tracking Gantry-Synchrotron Idea 2. K. Noda ; Overview of NIRS Accelerator Activity 3. T. Haberer ; The Heidelberg Ion Therapy Centre 4. K. Hiramoto; PROBEAT, Hitachi Proton-Therapy System 5. S. Peggs ; Rapid Cycling Medical Synchrotron 6. M. Pullia ; The Design of CNAO 7. J. Wei ; Recent Ion-Beam Therapy Proposals in China 8. M. Herforth; Synchrotron based on PT Solutions from Siemens AG Synchrotron types as mentioned above are categorized to two groups: A)Rapid Cycle Synchrotron B)Slow Cycle Synchrotron

2 1) RCS by Peggs Hz repetition rate required through spot-scanning experiences. Small beam size & Lighter Gantry

3 Not so rapid, but 5 Hz dual rings 2) RCS by Rees. 5 Hz synchrotrons (low voltage rf systems) C 1 = m C 2 = m Apertures: 42 x 60 mm 2 C 4+ Hˉ steering to foils H + continuous extraction C 6+ Inner ring: Hˉ ions MeV/u RFQ linac injector for Hˉ and C 4+ Inner ring: C MeV/u Outer ring: C MeV/u

4 Features of the 5 Hz rings 2) RCS by Rees Each ring has six FODO combined function lattice cells Ring magnets have small (42 mm x 60 mm) apertures Injection of Hˉ or C 4+ to Ring 1 is from a common RFQ Ring 1 has 1-turn Hˉ injection & outward stripping ejection Ring 1 has 1-turn injection for C 4+ ions and fast extraction Ring 2 has fast inject of C 4+ & inward C 6+ stripping ejection Max. field in Ring 1 is < 5 kg for low, Hˉ Lorentz stripping Both rings require vacuum pressures of a few x Torr

5 3) RCS by Wei Debates in possible approaches Goal: ion-beam therapy with capability of 3D stereo-tactic scanning At least 5 ways to build the machine Cyclotron with mechanical degrader: PSI practice Slow-cycling synchrotron with energyprogramming slow extraction: GSI practice Rapid cycling synchrotron: resonance acceleration with adjustable extraction timing FFAG-ring based Linac based

6 Rationale to choose the RCS approach Well established technology proven example of ISIS (50Hz), J-PARC (25Hz) New to the therapy world smaller beam size, lighter gantry (e.g. Peggs) Share the R&D efforts in China China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Primary challenge: Lower cost (30 50%), quality production World-wide collaboration, domestic fabrication Possible weakness: Large amount of RF (C: < 100 kv for 50 Hz) 3) RCS by Wei

7 3) RCS by Wei Energy Modulation Ion Therapy (EMIT) layout Repetition:50Hz RF_V : 16 <100

9 The Heidelberg Ion Therapy Centre 2) SCS by Haberer

10 HIT / Synchrotron 2) SCS by Haberer treatment both with low and Multiple high LET-ions extraction fast change of ion species 0,5 bis 10 sec 3 treatment areas to treat a large number of patients integration of an isocentric gantry ion-species : p, He, C, O ion-range (in water) : mm ion-energy (*) : MeV/u extraction-time : 1-10 s beam-diameter : 4-10 mm (h/v) intensity (ions/spill)(*) : 1*10 6 to 4*10 10 (*) (dependent upon ion species) Multiturn injection Th. Haberer, Heidelberg Ion Therapy Center

11 IMPT Beam Scanning 2) SCS by Haberer pencil beam library: ions : p 3 He C 6 16 O 8+ energies (MeV/u) : (255 steps,1.0/1.5 mm) beam spot size : 4 10 (20) mm, 2d-gaussian ( 4 (6) steps) (up to 20 mm for moving organ treatments) intensity variation: chopper system in front of the RFQ, variation factor: 1000 active energy variation: in the synchrotron + high-energy beam lines beam size variation: quads directly in front of the scanning systems beam extraction: established RF-knock-out method (Himac > 10 years) gives high stability in time, position and spot size extraction switchable at flat-top level Th. Haberer, Heidelberg Ion Therapy Center

12 synchrotron 2) SCS by Haberer high energy beam transport Accelerator & Gantry have already been fully commissioned. First treatment is scheduled on October 09

13 Revised HIT Accelerator Design by Siemens The HIT accelerator design has been modified To improve technical capabilities To reduce const ruction and operating costs Examples 1) 12dipoles(each8tons) instead of 6(each25tons) cost reduction,easier installation and handling 2) Smaller and lighter quadrupoles cost reduction,less power consumption 3) Optimized injection and extraction system Higher intensity,shorter treatment times 4) 3sources more flexibility,other ions species 3) SCS by Herforth
