TUPSA12 | The User Friendly Interface for BEAMDULAC-RFQ Code | 60 |
|
||
The BEAMDULAC* beam dynamics simulation code is under development at MEPhI Department of Electrophysical Facilities since 1999. Such code includes versions for beam dynamics simulation in a number of accelerating structures as RFQ, DTL, APF, transport channels, ets. The motion equation for each particle is solved selfconsistently in the external fields and the inter-particle Coulomb field simultaneously. The BEAMDULAC code utilizes the cloud-in-cell (CIC) method for accurate treatment of the space charge effects. The external field can be represented analytically, as a series or on the grid. The absence of user friendly interface was the main disadvantage of the code. Last year such interface was developed and will present in the report.

TUPSA20 | Output Energy Variation in the SC Linac for the Proton Radiotherapy | 80 |
|
||
Current success of the superconducting linear accelerators based on independently phased SC cavities gives a seriously reason to consider such structure in proton radiotherapy. Superconductivity allow to solve at once some problems concerned with a low rate of energy gain, high length, higher capacity losses and higher cost of the proton linear accelerator subsequently. One of the traditional aims of such facilities is receiving of the beam energy about 240 MeV with possibility of fluently regulation in range from 150 to 240 MeV that responds to irradiate the tumors located at different depth. The possibility of beam energy variation by means of RF field phase in last resonators and number of the resonator turn-off becomes the major advantage of the proton SC linac. The optimal choice of accelerator parameters and the beam dynamics simulation results with using BEAMDULAC-SCL code will presented*. Methods of the output energy variation with beam quality preservation in the proton SC linac will discussed.

The results of the optimization of the cavity of the single gap buncher at 145.2 MHz to reduce multipacting effect are presented. Resonant voltages, impact energies and corresponding particle trajectories are obtained. The variants of design to reduce multipacting effect are considered. | ||
WEPSB35 | Thermal Simulations of the Biperiodical Accelerating Structure with the Operating Frequency 27 GHz | 237 |
|
||
Biperiodical accelerating structure (BAS) represents an accelerating structure based on disk loaded waveguide (DLW) with π/2 operation mode. The 1 cm band structure will have very compact transverse size. Such characteristics give it perspective to use in medical accelerators. The results of beam dynamics simulation and electrodynamics study was discussed early. It will important to study the BAS electrodynamics taking into account thermal processes in structure and to design the cooling system. It is important because of the high pulse RF power (about 1.5 MW) necessary for the beam acceleration. The simulation results which are defined using CST code will presented in report. Calculation and determination of the thermolysis coefficient depending on speed, temperature and the water flow direction will make. | ||
WEPSB36 | A prototype of a Phased Array for Deep Thermoradiotherapy | 240 |
|
||
It is proven that hyperthermia increases radiation and chemotherapy efficiency. In oncology, the generation of a higher temperature at a tumor-involved region of the body is called hyperthermia. The thermoradiotherapy is widely and effective uses. A phased array of eight dipoles for the hyperthermia treatment of deep-seated tumors is proposed earlier. The power and phase coherently delivered to the radiating elements can be varied, so that the electromagnetic field is increased at the tumor location and decreased in the normal tissues. The prototype of the phased array of two dipoles and the RF power scheme are presented and results of experiments are discussed. Measured and simulated temperature distributions along the line connecting two dipoles are discussed in this paper. | ||

ADS subcritical system should consist of megawatt-power proton accelerator, neutron producing target and breeder. A number of ADS projects are under development in EU, Japan, USA, China, S.Korea at present. Superconducting linacs or their complexes with high energy storage synchrotron are under design in main projects as a megawatt power proton beam driver. In Russian Federation the complex design for accelerator-driver was carried down more than ten years ago. The new approach to the ADS complex is now under development in framework of the project carried out by collaboration between Russian scientific centers MEPhI, ITEP, Kurchatov Institute.
