  The last decade brought much interest in proton therapy within the medical and accelerator communities. Using normal conducting technology, the high-energy beams required can be handled only with large and heavy magnets which causes prohibitive costs. While lattice design work on a superconducting gantry has been carried out for a decade there is yet no practical implementation. The University of Huelva in collaboration with the Andalusian Foundation for Health Research (FABIS) is currently involved in developing and assembling a prototype for a compact superconducting proton gantry. Magnet design and performance is described along with beam dynamics results for the main gantry arcs and for the final spot scanning system using realistic magnetic field maps thoroughly.

  The University of Huelva in collaboration with the Andalusian Foundation for Health Research (FABIS) and the TTI Company is currently involved in developing and assembling a prototype for a compact superconducting proton gantry with the goal to generate a business case within the narrow niche of hadron therapy. This article presents the current status of the engineering design for the cryostat and beam steering system. An account for the mechanical deformations due to magnetic forces and weight is also presented.
