Feasibility Study of GaToroid Gantries for Carbon Ions

Luca Bottura, Enrico Felcini, Bertrand Dutoit

The use of carbon ions in particle therapy can enhance the treatment quality, introducing higher biological effectiveness compared to photons and protons. Rotating gantries are nowadays used to deliver particle beams from different directions to obtain pre ...

Analysis of a Novel Toroidal Configuration for Hadron Therapy Gantries

Enrico Felcini

Hadron therapy refers to a medical treatment that uses hadron beams (i.e. protons and ions) to deliver localized energy that suppresses cancerous cells, sparing the neighbouring healthy tissues from unwanted radiation. The major technical components of a h ...

High-gradient and high-efficiency linear accelerators for hadron therapy

Stefano Benedetti

Hadron beams - approximately 200 MeV protons and 400 MeV/u fully stripped carbon ions - are better suited to treat deep-seated tumours than X ray beams - produced by electrons accelerated by linear accelerators (linacs) to 5-25 MeV - because they leave the ...

Production of molecular sideband radioisotope beams at CERN-ISOLDE using a Helicon-type plasma ion source

In order to account for the increasing demand for strong molecular beams for nuclear physics experiments at ISOLDE, a new radioactive ion source concept based on an RE discharge in a magnetized plasma was developed at CERN. Experimental studies at the ISOL ...

A Large Hadron Electron Collider at CERN. Report on the Physics and Design Concepts for Machine and Detector

Tatiana Pieloni, Stephan Russenschuck, Werner Friedrich Herr, Yan Hao, Ngoc Thanh Trinh, José Luis Abelleira Fernández, Frank Zimmermann

The physics programme and the design are described of a new collider for particle and nuclear physics, the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC), in which a newly built electron beam of 60 GeV, to possibly 140 GeV, energy collides with the intense hadron b ...

Submicro- and Nano-Structured Porous Materials for Production of High-Intensity Exotic Radioactive Ion Beams

Sandrina Fernandes

ISOLDE, the CERN Isotope Separator On-line DEvice is a unique source of low energy beams of radioactive isotopes - atomic nuclei that have too many or too few neutrons to be stable. The facility is like a small 'chemical factory', giving the possibility of ...

Optics design and performance of an ultra-low emittance damping ring for the compact linear collider

A high-energy (0.5-3.0 TeV centre of mass) electron-positron Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is being studied at CERN as a new physics facility. The design study has been optimized for 3 TeV centre-of-mass energy. Intense bunches injected into the main lina ...
