  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.

  The NICA/MPD project has been started at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna in 2007. The NICA accelerator complex will consist of two injector chains, the new 600 MeV/u superconducting (SC) booster synchrotron, the existing SC synchrotron Nuclotron, and the new SC collider having two rings each of 503 m in circumference. New test facility for simultaneous cryogenic testing of the SC magnets on 6 benches is under commisioning in the Laboratory of High Energy Physics (LHEP) JINR. Premises with an area of 2600 m2 were prepared to install the equipment. The 15 kA, 25 V pulse power supply, the helium satellite refrigerator with capacity of 100 W were commissioned first bench for magnets testing have being assembled and now is under commisioning. First magnets cryogenic tests are planned on October 2014. Start of the serial production of the SC magnets for the booster synchrotron is planned for the end of 2014.
