  Danfysik and Siemens have entered a cooperation to market and build Particle Therapy* systems for cancer therapy. The accelerators will consist of an injector (7 MeV/u proton and light ions) and a compact synchrotron able to accelerate proton beams up to 250 MeV and carbon ions up to 430 MeV/u in less than 1s. These beams can be slowly extracted over a period of up to 10s and delivered to treatment rooms through a choice of fixed-angle horizontal and semi-vertical beamlines and Gantry Systems. The intensity for protons and carbon ions will be sufficient for the needs of scanning beam applications. The design of a particular system, with three horizontal beamlines and one semi-vertical (45°) beamline, will be described. At the time of EPAC08, most components have been manufactured and hardware tested. The detailed layout of the facility will be presented, together with some of the components and their performance.

*Particle Therapy is a work in progress and requires country-specific regulatory approval prior to clinical use.
