The Focusing Structure of the Prague Proton Synchrotron for Hadron Therapy
Proceedings of the 1997 Particle Accelerator Conference (Cat No97CH36167)（2002）
Abstract
This paper reports a lattice design of a dedicated proton synchrotron for hadron therapy. This synchrotron, named as a Prague Medical Synchrotron (PRAMES), will be used as a kernel of an accelerator complex of a Prague Oncological Hospital (Czech Republic). The synchrotron will be able to accelerate high-intensity proton beams of 625/spl middot/10/sup 10/ protons per pulse till the energy of 60-220 MeV with 1 Hz repetition rate. The active scanning of tumours is assumed. To satisfy this requirement, the slow (third-order) extraction scheme is analysed. The single turn injection of the proton beam is utilised to get the trapped proton beam with small transverse emittance on the injection energy of 12 MeV.
