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 ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Analysis of a Novel Toroidal Configuration for Hadron Therapy Gantries
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 ...
EPFL2021Design of the First HTS Single-Coil Demonstrator of GaToroid Toroidal Gantry for Hadron Therapy
Luca Bottura, Enrico Felcini, Jérôme Harray, Bertrand Dutoit
The design and construction of compact and lightweight gantries for hadron therapy are essential steps toward wider accessibility to this cancer treatment. The use of a high-field steady-state toroidal gantry, i.e., GaToroid, represents an attractive alter ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2021Magnetic Design of a Superconducting Toroidal Gantry for Hadron Therapy
Luca Bottura, Enrico Felcini, Bertrand Dutoit
Hadron and proton therapy are cutting edge techniques for cancer treatment and a great development of specialized medical centers and research facilities is foreseen in the next decades. One of the main obstacles to the penetration of the use of charged pa ...
2020An Algorithm for Toroidal Field Harmonics Computation in Arbitrary Magnetic Configurations
Toroidal magnetic configurations are widely exploited in industry and scientific research, involving a vast spectrum of applications, such as thermonuclear fusion, particle detectors, SMES systems and medical devices. To properly design and analyse these s ...
2020Delivery, Beam and Range Monitoring in Particle Therapy in a Highly Innovative Integrated Design
The design of a particle therapy system that integrates an innovative beam delivery concept based on a static toroidal gantry and an imaging configuration suitable for beam and online range monitoring is proposed and discussed. Such approach would provide ...
2020Stability modeling of the LHC Nb-Ti Rutherford cables subjected to beam losses
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is being prepared for its full energy exploitation during Run III, i.e. an increase of the beam energy beyond the present 6.5 TeV, targeting the maximum discovery potential attainable. This requires an increase of th ...
2019Modeling of Beam Loss Induced Quenches in the LHC Main Dipole Magnets
Luca Bottura, Pier Paolo Granieri, Enrico Felcini
The full energy exploitation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a planned increase of the beam energy beyond the present 6.5 TeV, will result in more demanding working conditions for the superconducting dipoles and quadrupoles operating in the machine. It ...
2019Quench Level of the HL-LHC Nb3Sn IR Quadrupoles
The scope of the Large Hadron Collider Hi-Lumi Project at CERN includes the installation of several superconducting magnets wound with Nb3Sn Rutherford cables. The quench level of these magnets (i.e. the maximum energy that a cable can tolerate without que ...
