MC8.A28 Medical Applications

Invited Oral Presentation

The world's smallest carbon ion treatment facility has been commissioned at Yamagata University. The treatment system consists of an ECR ion source, a linac cascade of 0.6 MeV/u RFQ and 4 MeV/u IH-DTL, a 430 MeV/u slow extraction synchrotron, and irradiation systems of a fixed horizontal beamline and a compact rotating gantry using superconducting combined function magnets. The size of the...

MC8.U09 Other Applications

Invited Oral Presentation

Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities are the world’s most efficient engineered oscillators, and they have long been employed for extremely high efficiency transfer of energy to beams of charged particles. Decades of R&D for particle accelerators have led to modern treatments for SRF cavities that achieve higher performance than was previously possible. Advanced SRF cavities using...
