Charged particle therapy, or so-called hadrontherapy, is developing very rapidly. There is large pressure on the scientific community to deliver dedicated accelerators, providing the best possible treatment modalities at the lowest cost. In this context, t ...
The scientific community and the medical industries are putting a considerable effort into the design of compact, reliable and cheap accelerators for hadrontherapy. Up to now only circular accelerators are used to deliver beams with energies suitable for t ...
Hadrontherapy with protons and carbon ions is a fast developing methodology in radiation oncology. The accelerators used and planned for this purpose are reviewed starting from the cyclotrons used in the thirties. As discussed in the first part of this pap ...

Accelerators can be used for hadrontherapy, a cancer treatment in which the patient is irradiated with hadron beams. For this purpose, the Italian foundation TERA proposes the “cyclinac”, composed of a high-frequency linac which boosts the hadrons accelera ...
