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.

The University of Huelva is presently involved in R&D projects for developing RF accelerator cavities. Two types of cavities are presently under design, a prototype of room temperature RFQ injector and a quarter-wave resonator for high intensity heavy-ion linear accelerators. The laboratory is equipped with dedicated test-bench for RF measurements, which includes high-power RF generators, network analyzer, amplifiers and power meters. A clean room is also available having a dedicated space for high-precision mechanical metrology and cavity mounting, together with a vertical cryostat for superconducting cavity test.
