Funding: The work is supported by La Sapienza University, research grant "grandi progetti di ricerca 2020". The Flash Radio Therapy is a revolutionary new technique in the cancer cure: it spares healthy tissue from the damage of the ionizing radiation maintaining the tumor control as efficient as in conventional radiotherapy. To allow the implementation of the FLASH Therapy concept into actual clinical use, it is necessary to have a linear accelerator able to deliver the very high dose and very high dose rate (>106 Gy/s) in a very short irradiation time (beam on time < 100ms). Low energy S-band Linacs (up to 7 MeV) are being used in Radiobiology and pre-clinic applications but in order to treat deep tumors, the energy of the electrons should achieve the range of 60-100 MeV. In this paper, we address the main issues in the design of a compact C band (5.712 GHz) electron linac-VHEE for FLASH Radio Therapy. We present preliminary studies on C-band structures at La Sapienza and at INFN-LNS, aiming to reach a high accelerating gradient and high current necessary to deliver a dose >1 Gy/pulse, with very short electron pulse. |

WEPAB225 | Transverse and Longitudinal Single Bunch Instabilities in FCC-ee | 3153 |
|
||
Improving the accuracy of the impedance model of an accelerator is important for keeping beam instabilities and power loss under control. Here, by means of the PyHEAD- TAIL tracking code, we first review the longitudinal mi- crowave instability threshold for FCC-ee by taking into ac- count the longitudinal impedance model evaluated so far. Moreover, we present the results of beam dynamics simula- tions, including both the longitudinal and transverse wake- fields due to the resistive wall, in order to evaluate the influ- ence of the bunch length on the transverse mode coupling instability. The results of the transverse beam dynamics are also compared with the Vlasov solver DELPHI. | ||
