Design Studies of the Superconducting Cyclotrons for Proton Therapy | |
|
||
| Different projects of the cyclotrons for proton therapy were considered in order to provide Medical Technical Complex at JINR, Dubna by proton beam. Our projects can be used for development of the accelerator for proton therapy for the other medical centers. We propose project of the superconducting cyclotron accelerating protons up to energy 250 MeV and superconducting synchrocyclotron which can be used as the 70 MeV protons source for radiation therapy of the shallow-allocated tumors. Conceptual designs of cyclotrons are considered. Main parameters of the magnetic and accelerating systems are chosen. Main aspects of the beam dynamics are studied by means of simulation of the acceleration in the main region of radii, in the extraction region and simulation of the particles capture into acceleration in the very center of the machine. | ||
