A Compact Synchrotron for Advanced Cancer Therapy with Helium and Proton Beams
/ Vretenar, Maurizio (CERN) ; Angoletta, Maria Elena (CERN) ; Benedetto, Elena (U. Geneva (main)) ; Bisoffi, Giovanni (INFN, Legnaro) ; Borburgh, Jan (CERN) ; Bottura, Luca (CERN) ; Paļskis, Kristaps (CERN) ; Sapinski, Mariusz (PSI, Villigen) ; Taylor, Rebecca (CERN) ; Tranquille, Gerard (CERN)
Recent years have seen an increased interest in the use of helium for radiation therapy of cancer. Helium ions can be more precisely delivered to the tumour than protons or carbon ions, presently the only beams licensed for treatment, with a biological effectiveness between the two. [...]

Slow Extraction Modelling for NIMMS Hadron Therapy Synchrotrons
/ Taylor, Rebecca (CERN) ; Benedetto, Elena (Geneva Observ.) ; Pasternak, Jaroslaw (Imperial Coll., London) ; Sapinski, Mariusz (U. Geneva (main))
The Next Ion Medical Machine Study (NIMMS) is an umbrella R&D; programme for CERN accelerator technologies targeting advanced accelerator options for proton and light ion therapy. In collaboration with the European program HITRIplus, one area of study is slow extraction which is required to deliver a uniform beam spill for radiotherapy treatment. [...]

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.

The South East European International Institute for Sustainable Technologies (SEEIIST) was
proposed in 2016 at the World Academy of Art and Science, with the objective of building a
facility for charged particle cancer therapy for the South Eastern European countries. SEEIIST
will offer the world-class research needed to reduce or even revert the brain drain that is causing
a shortage of talent and economic losses in South East Europe. [...]

The next ion medical machine study at CERN: Towards a next generation cancer research and therapy facility with ion beams
/ Vretenar, Maurizio (CERN) ; Bencini, Vittorio (TERA Foundation (IT)) ; Khalvati, Mohammad Reza ; Lombardi, Alessandra (CERN) ; Tommasini, Davide (CERN) ; Benedetto, Elena (SEEIIST Association (CH)) ; Sapinski, Mariusz (SEEIIST Association (CH)) ; Foka, Yiota (GSI - Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung GmbH (DE))
Cancer therapy with ions has several advantages over X- ray and proton therapy, but its diffusion remains limited primarily because of the size and cost of the accelerator. To develop technologies that might improve performance and reduce accelerator cost with respect to present facilities, CERN has recently launched the Next Ion Medical Ma-chine Study (NIMMS), leveraging CERN expertise in accelerator fields to disseminate technologies developed for basic science.
