MOY01 | The NICA Complex Injection Facility | 7 |
|
||
The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is un-der construction in JINR. The NICA goals are providing of colliding beams for studies of hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics. The NICA complex injection facility consists of four accelerators: Alvarez-type linac LU-20 of light ions up to 5 MeV/u; heavy ion linac HILAC with RFQ and IH DTL sections at energy 3.2 MeV/u; superconducting Booster synchrotron at energy up 578 MeV/u; superconducting synchrotron Nuclotron at gold ion energy 3.85 GeV/u. In the nearest future the old LU-20 will be substituted by a new light ion linac for acceleration of 2<A/z<3 ions up to 7 MeV/u with additional two acceleration sections for protons, first IH section for 13 MeV and the second one - superconducting for 20 MeV. The status of NICA injec-tion facility is under discussion. | ||

|
||
The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under construction in JINR. The NICA goals are providing of colliding beams for studies of hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics. The accelerator facility of collider NICA consists of following elements: acting Alvarez-type linac LU-20 of light ions at energy 5 MeV/u, constructed a new light ion linac of light ions at energy 7 MeV/n and protons at energy 13 MeV, new acting heavy ion linac HILAC with RFQ and IH DTL sections at energy 3.2 MeV/u, new acting superconducting booster synchrotron at energy up 600 MeV/u, acting superconducting synchrotron Nuclotron at gold ion energy 4.5 GeV/n and mounted two Collider storage rings with two interaction points. The status of acceleration complex NICA is under discussion. | ||

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. | ||

WEA02 | Acceleration the Beams of He⁺ and Fe14+ Ions by HILAC and its Injection into NICA Booster in its Second Run | 65 |
|
||
Injector of NICA accelerating facility based on the Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator (HILAC) is aimed to inject the heavy ions having atomic number A~200 and ratio A/Z - 6.25 produced by ESIS ion source accelerated up to the 3.2 MeV for the injection into superconducting synchrotron (SC) Booster. The project output energy of HILAC was verified on commissioning in 2018 using the beams of carbon ions produced with the Laser Ion Source and having ratio A/Z=6 that is close to the project one. Beams of He1+ ions were injected into Booster in its first run and accelerated in 2020. In 2021 ions of Fe14+ produced with the LIS were injected and accelerated up to 200 MeV/u. Beam formation of Fe ions and perspectives of using LIS for the production the ions with high atomic mass A and ratio A/Z matching to HILAC input parameters are described. | ||

THA01 | Status of the SC HWR Cavities Production for NICA Project | 85 |
|
||
Since 2015 the superconducting (SC) linac-injector development for Nuclotron NICA (JINR, Dubna, Russia) is carried out by the collaboration of JINR, NRNU MEPhI, INP BSU, PTI NASB. This new SC linac is to accelerate protons up to 20 MeV and light ions to 7.5 MeV/u with possible energy upgrade up to 50 MeV for proton beam. This paper reports the current status of the development and manufacturing of superconducting accelerating cavities for a new linear accelerator of the injection complex of the Nuclotron-NICA project. | ||
