Superconducting Cyclotron SC230 for Flash Proton Therapy Studies | |
|
||
| In recent years, intensive research on the FLASH radiation therapy method has been carried out all over the world. Specialists have a great interest in the FLASH proton therapy method since it not only reduces the effect on healthy tissues but also reduces the number of treatment procedures. However, before proton FLASH therapy can be fully implemented in practice, it is necessary to solve a number of engineering and technical challenges. There is a need for an accelerator that provides an average beam current of 500-100000 nA for the entire range of energies used in treatment. This intensity is not achievable with commercial machines, designed to minimize the size of the installation and provide an intensity sufficient for standard treatment (100-400 nA). We are starting work on the biomedical center with the creation of an accelerator, that is innovative in many ways. In addition to the possibility of obtaining a high-intensity beam, the accelerator will have the lowest energy consumption among accelerators of the same class. The project was developed with an eye to the possibility of using a high-temperature superconductor (HTS), therefore, SC230 could become the world’s first medical cyclotron with an HTS coil. | ||
