Design and behaviour of the Large Hadron Collider external beam dumps capable of receiving 539 MJ/dump
J. Maestre, C. Torregrosa, K. Kershaw +18
Two 6-t beam dumps, made of a graphite core encapsulated in a stainless steel vessel, are used to absorb the energy of the two Large Hadron Collider (LHC) intense proton beams duri…
Full Scale Proton Beam Impact Testing of new CERN Collimators and Validation of a Numerical Approach for Future Operation
M. Bergeret, F-X. Nuiry, M. Calviani +9
New collimators are being produced at CERN in the framework of a large particle accelerator upgrade project to protect beam lines against stray particles. Their movable jaws hold l…
On the accuracy of Monte Carlo based beam dynamics models for the degrader in proton therapy facilities
V. Rizzoglio, A. Adelmann, C. Baumgarten +3
In a cyclotron-based proton therapy facility, the energy changes are performed by means of a degrader of variable thickness. The interaction of the proton beam with the degrader cr…
Evolution of a beam dynamics model for the transport lines in a proton therapy facility
V. Rizzoglio, A. Adelmann, C. Baumgarten +4
Despite the fact that the first-order beam dynamics models allow an approximated evaluation of the beam properties, their contribution is essential during the conceptual design of…
Cyclinac Medical Accelerators Using Pulsed C6+/H2+ Ion Sources
A. Garonna, U. Amaldi, R. Bonomi +6
Charged particle therapy, or so-called hadrontherapy, is developing very rapidly. There is large pressure on the scientific community to deliver dedicated accelerators, providing t…
