MOAI01 | Status of the HIAF Accelerator Facility in China | 1 |
|
||
HIAF (High Intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility) is a new accelerator facility for advances in the nuclear physics and related research fields in China. It is composed of a superconducting ion linear accelerator, a high-energy synchrotron booster, a high-energy radioactive isotope beam line, an experimental storage ring, and a few experimental setups. Characterized by unprecedented intense ion beams from hydrogen through uranium, HIAF can produce a large variety of exotic nuclear matters not normally found on the earth and will bring researchers to the forefront of promoting the most vigorous and fascinating fields in nuclear physics. In addition, HIAF will provide an excellent platform to develop heavy-ion applications in medicine, life science, space science, and material science. The construction of HIAF started up in December of 2018, and takes approximately seven years in total. Since the commencement, the civil engineering and infrastructure are being constructed on time schedule and will be completed in July, 2023. R&D on key accelerator techniques are going on successfully, and prototypes of core devices are fabricated in collaboration with home and abroad universities, institutes, and companies. Presently, we come to the stage of invitation for bids and volume production of various apparatuses. The progress and present status will be given in the presentation. | ||

WEAO06 | Development of Heavy Ion Radiotherapy Facilities in China | 167 |
|

Funding: This work was supported by the Youth Innovation Promotion Association of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (No. 2017453), and the Lanzhou Talent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Project (No. 2019-RC-4). Hadron therapy offers superior dose conformity in the treatment of deep-seated tumors compared with conventional X-ray therapy due to its Bragg-peak feature of energy deposition in organs. Heavy ion medical machine (HIMM) was constructed on the basis of the experience gained from the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou-Cooler Storage Ring (HIRFL-CSR) project. The facility consists of an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source, a cyclotron injector, a compact synchrotron ring, and 5 nozzles. The C5+ beam generated by the ECR ion source is pre-accelerated by the cyclotron to 6.2 MeV/u and then injected into the synchrotron using the charge exchange injection method. The injected beam is accelerated from 6.2 MeV/u to an extraction energy ranging from 120 to 400 MeV/u. This paper introduced the characteristics of HIMM and its development in China. |
