  Cancer therapy with ions has several advantages over X-ray and proton therapy, but its diffusion remains limited primarily because of the size and cost of the accelerator. To develop technologies that might improve performance and reduce accelerator cost with respect to present facilities, CERN has recently launched the Next Ion Medical Machine Study (NIMMS), leveraging CERN expertise in accelerator fields to disseminate technologies developed for basic science. A perspective user and key partner of NIMMS is the SEEIIST (South East European International Institute for Sustainable Technologies), established to build in the region an innovative facility for combined cancer therapy and biomedical research with ion beams. For SEEIIST and other potential users, three options are being considered. Conceptual designs of a warm-magnet synchrotron at high beam intensity, of a compact superconducting synchrotron, and of a high-frequency linear accelerator have been compared in terms of cost, risk and development time. The development of curved superconducting magnets, of compact synchrotrons and ion gantries, and of linacs is being pursued within EU-funded projects or specific collaborations

  In the context of the Future Circular Collider hadron-hadron (FCC-hh) R&D program, the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), in collaboration with CERN, is responsible for designing and constructing the Falcon Dipole (Future Accelerator post-LHC Costheta Optimized Nb3Sn Dipole), which is an important step towards the construction of High Field Nb3Sn magnets for a post LHC collider. The magnet is a short model with one aperture of 50 mm and the target bore field is 12 T (14 T ’ultimate’ field). The dipole is pre-loaded with the Bladder&Key technique to minimize the stress on the coils at room temperature, which are prone to degradation because of the Nb3Sn cable strain-sensitivity. The electro-mechanical 2D design is focused on the performance, the field quality and the quench protection, with emphasis to the stresses on the the conductor. The Falcon Dipole has been modelled in a 3D FEM to determine the peak field distribution and the influence of the coil ends on the field quality.
