Perspectives and recent achievements on additive manufacturing technologies for accelerators
/ Torims, Toms (Riga Tech. U.) ; Romano, Tobia (Milan, Polytech.) ; Pikurs, Guntis (Riga Tech. U.) ; Gruber, Samira (Fraunhofer Inst., Dresden) ; Delerue, Nicolas (IJCLab, Orsay) ; Lopez, Elena (Fraunhofer Inst., Dresden) ; Vretenar, Maurizio (CERN) ; Ratkus, Andris (Riga Tech. U.) ; Vedani, Maurizio (Milan, Polytech.) ; Marquardt, Drew (Fraunhofer Inst., Dresden) et al.
This paper reports the exploratory studies on advanced accelerator technologies performed within the I.FAST (Innovation Fostering in Accelerator Science and Technology) EU project, and in particular the key results of the additive manufacturing Task 10.2 – “Additive Manufacturing – applications and potential developments” and Task 10.3 – “Repair of damaged accelerator components by AM technologies”. This includes results of two surveys targeted to the accelerator community: a) on current additive manufacturing applications in accelerators and expected new developments, b) on current additive manufacturing repair technologies for accelerator and list of possible applications.

Metal additive manufacturing for particle accelerator applications
/ Romano, Tobia (Milan, Polytech. ; Riga Tech. U.) ; Pikurs, Guntis (CERN ; Riga Tech. U.) ; Ratkus, Andris (Riga Tech. U.) ; Torims, Toms (CERN ; Riga Tech. U.) ; Delerue, Nicolas (IJCLab, Orsay) ; Vretenar, Maurizio (CERN) ; Stepien, Lukas (Fraunhofer Inst., Dresden) ; López, Elena (Fraunhofer Inst., Dresden) ; Vedani, Maurizio (Milan, Polytech.)
Metal additive manufacturing technologies are rapidly becoming an integral part of the advanced technological portfolio for the most demanding industrial applications. These processes are capable of fabricating three-dimensional components with near-net shape quality by depositing the constituent materials in a layer-by-layer fashion. [...]

Comparison of 352 MHZ Linac structures for injection into an ion therapy accelerator
/ Nikitovic, Lazar (Riga Technical University (LV)) ; Torims, Toms (Riga Technical University (LV)) ; Vretenar, Maurizio (CERN)
In the frame of ongoing initiatives for the design of a new generation of synchrotron-based accelerators for can-cer therapy with ion beams, an analysis of linac designs has been started, to address a critical element with a strong im-pact on the performance and cost of the accelerator. The goal is to identify alternatives at lower cost and a similar or possibly smaller footprint than the standard 217 MHz in-jector presently used in all carbon therapy facilities in Eu-rope. [...]

Alvarez drift tube linac for medical applications in the framework of HITRIplus project
/ Mamaras, Aristeidis (Aristotle U., Thessaloniki ; CERN) ; Samponidis, D (Aristotle U., Thessaloniki ; CERN) ; Bellan, L (INFN-LNL, Legnaro, Italy) ; Bisoffi, Giovanni (Universita e INFN, Legnaro (IT)) ; Comunian, M (INFN-LNL, Leganro, Italy) ; Thonet, Pierre Alexandre (CERN) ; Vretenar, Maurizio (CERN)
A first beam dynamics and RF design of an Alvarez-type drift tube linac (DTL) has been defined in the framework of the EU project, HITRIplus. It is meant primarily as a carbon (12C4+) and helium (4He2+) ion injector of a compact synchrotron for patient treatment. [...]
