Description
The NHa C400 [1] is an isochronous cyclotron for cancer therapy which can deliver high intensity of alphas to carbons at 400 MeV/amu and protons at 260 MeV. It is the first cyclotron-based clinical carbon therapy solution worldwide characterized by K=1600, this is the strongest compact cyclotron. Most of the part of the cyclotron has been constructed and assembled as well as subsystems such: Super Conducting Coil, Yoke lifting system, Cryogenic System, External Injection System (EIS), etc… In parallel, Control Unit (CU) cabinets are fitted to the power room, cabled and tested to control subsystem hereabove. The EIS system is under trials at IBA / Louvain-la-Neuve, the functionalities of this system will be validated before its settle back to Cyclhad. Similarly, the mapping wheel dedicated to the magnetic field mapping of C400 is ready to leave IBA / Louvain-la-Neuve for be installed inside the C400 cyclotron and perform last final in-situ tests. Beside the construction and installation of subsystems, electrostatic deflector as well as beam probe are in the final stage of design before their production. The paper will present the status of all the components of the SRTH (Systeme de Recherche et Traitement en Hadrontherapy) machine with a focus on the actual assembly of C400 subsystems.
