WEIM01 Accelerators for Hadrontherapy and the Role of Industry 1962
 
  • H. Rohdjess
    Siemens Med, Erlangen
 
  After initial evaluation of particle therapy in research institutions this technology is now transferred into hospitals for cancer treatment. Industrial companies are key partners for this transfer, not only as suppliers for the medical product, but also as general contractors for the overall project realization and the technical operation of such facilities. Their solutions support the entire patient workflow from patient diagnosis, therapy planning, treatment and follow up in addition to the delivery of the accelerator technology. The presentation will give an overview of the present industrial solutions in this field and perspectives for the future.

WEIM02 Collaborating with Industry: Lessons from the LHC Megaproject 1963
 
  • P. Lebrun
    CERN, Geneva
 
  The LHC is an accelerator with unprecedented complexity, requiring an investment substantially exceeding other accelerator projects. Industry from many countries played a key role during all phases of the LHC project, for research, development, production, assembly of components and installation. There are many different ways of working with industry, however, some constraints due to the status of CERN as an inter-governmental organisation have to be taken into account. The presentation will review the experience when collaborating with industry with the objective of profiting from the lessons during LHC construction for future projects of similar size, such as FEL at DESY, FAIR, ILC and ITER.

WEIM03 Industrialization of Superconducting Accelerator Module Production 1964
 
  • B. Petersen
    DESY, Hamburg
 
  As part of the EUROFEL Design Study, two industrial partners recently took part in the assembly of superconducting TESLA modules for FLASH. The aim was to transfer the module assembly knowledge to industry and to analyse the assembly sequence to perpare for industrial production for future projects such as the XFEL. This talk should discuss the conclusions of this study and identify issues that must be considered when transferring SRF technology to industry.

WEIM04 Highly Customized Industrialized Linacs for Applications in Scientific Research 1967
 
  • C. Piel
    ACCEL, Bergisch Gladbach
 
  Industrial capabilities and experience in linac design and manufacturing shall be given for the various types of scientific applications. Furthermore the process from linac contracting through establishing a project team and adequate human and machine ressources for fulfilling the technical, schedule and pricing requirements shall be described.

WEIM05 Institutional and Industrial Partnerships 1972
 
  • C. J. Bocchetta
    Instrumentation Technologies, Solkan
 
  To be successful, accelerator projects require close interaction with industry for design, engineering and construction. Partnership and cooperation between institutes and industry is a means to transfer knowledge and foster innovation in the private sector, while the public sector benefits from best practices, efficient use of resources and pooled knowledge. An overview of partnerships between institutions and industry is given with examples from active projects.
