- Abstract
- A proton therapy facility using a compact, high-field nonsuperconducting cyclotron was first presented by lon Beam Applications (IBA) at the PTCOG meeting in June 1990. In December 1990, funding was secured to start the design of a prototype at IBA. In October 1991 a collaboration agreement was signed between IBA and Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI). The main features of this accelerator were presented elsewhere [W. Beeckman et al., Nucl. Instr. and Meth. B56/57 (1991) 1201]. The induction profile in the vicinity of the extraction radius was improved by the introduction of a magnetic shunt resulting in a completely closed gap at the median plane. The extraction system is also described. First calculations on the central region were performed using a simplified 2-D model with stacking factors in order to describe its actual 3-D geometry. Two types of isocentric gantries, namely a scanning gantry as initially proposed and a scattering gantry, are currently designed. Their status is presented in this paper.
