Description

A proton linac can take the advantages of FLASH therapy. C-band TW proton linacs have the superiorities of compactness and low cost which are essential factors of proton linac promotion, benefitting from the high gradient and less RF power source demand. A new proposal of a proton therapy linac consisting of the 714 MHz injector, the S-band linac and the C-band TW linac is raised. With the microwave pulse compressors, less peak power is required for the C-band linac, thus the cost can be cut significantly. The preliminary beam dynamics simulation illustrates the transmission after the matching between the injector and the S-band linac is over 60%. Further study and comprehensive design of the whole proton therapy linac will be conducted in the future.
