Review of Technologies for Ion Therapy Accelerators
/ Norman, H X Q (Manchester U. ; RMIT U.) ; Appleby, Robert (Manchester U. ; Daresbury) ; Benedetto, Elena (IBM, Geneva) ; Owen, Hywel (Manchester U. ; RMIT U.) ; Sapinski, Mariusz (IBM, Geneva) ; Sheehy, Suzanne (Melbourne U.) ; Steinberg, A F (Manchester U. ; RMIT U.)
Cancer therapy using protons and heavier ions such as carbon has demonstrated advantages over other radiotherapy treatments. To bring about the next generation of clinical facilities, the requirements are likely to reduce the footprint, obtain beam intensities above 1E10 particles per spill, and achieve faster extraction for more rapid, flexible treatment.

ProTec - A Normal-conducting Cyclinac for Proton Therapy Research and Radioisotope Production
/ Apsimon, Robert (Lancaster U.) ; Burt, Graeme (Lancaster U.) ; Degiovanni, Alberto (CERN) ; Mitchell, James (Lancaster U.) ; Owen, Hywel (U. Manchester (main)) ; Pitman, Sam (Lancaster U.)
The ProTec cyclinac proposes the use of a 24 MeV high-current cyclotron to inject protons into a normal-conducting linac pulsed at up to 1 kHz to give energies up to 150 MeV. As well as being able to produce radioisotopes such as 99mTc, the cyclinac can also provide protons at higher energy with beam properties relevant for proton therapy research. [...]
