  Gantries in the proton/carbon cancer therapy machines represent the major cost and are usually very large. This report explains a new way for the gantry design. The size and cost of the gantries are reduced, and their use is simplified by using the fixed magnetic field. The "new" gantry is made of a very large momentum acceptance non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) quarter and half arc beam lines. The gantry is made of combined function magnets with a very strong focusing and small dispersion function. Additional magnets with a fast response are required to allow adjustments of the beam position for different energies at the beginning of the gantry. The strong focusing magnets following the gantry have to be adjustable as well to provide the required spot size. The adjustable dipoles provide the radial scanning. The fixed field combined function magnets could be made of small permanent magnets for the proton machine, or of the high temperature superconductors or superconductors for the carbon machine, reducing dramatically the size.

  Magnets made with high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils operating at low temperatures have the potential to produce extremely high fields for use in beam lines and accelerators. The specific application of interest that we are proposing is to use a very high field (of the order of 50 Tesla) solenoid to provide a very small beta region for the final stages of cooling for a muon collider. With the commercial availability of HTS tape based on BSCCO technology with high current carrying capacity at 4.2 K, very high field solenoid magnets should be possible. In this paper we will evaluate the technical issues associated with building this magnet. In particular we will address how to mitigate the high Lorentz stresses associated with this high field magnet.
