A Non-Scaling FFAG Gantry Design for the PAMELA Project
A gantry is reÂquired for the PAMELA proÂject using non-scalÂing Fixed Field AlÂterÂnatÂing GraÂdiÂent (NS-FFAG) magÂnets. The NS-FFAG prinÂciÂple ofÂfers the posÂsiÂbilÂiÂty of a gantry much smallÂer, lighter and cheapÂer than conÂvenÂtionÂal deÂsigns, with the added abilÂiÂty to acÂcept a wide range of fast changÂing enÂerÂgies. This paper will build on preÂviÂous work to inÂvesÂtiÂgate a deÂsign which could be used for the PAMELA proÂject
An FFAG Transport Line for the PAMELA Project
The PAMELA project to design an accelerator for
hadron therapy using non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating
Gradient (NS-FFAG) magnets requires a transport line
and gantry to take the beam to the patient. The NS-FFAG
principle offers the possibility of a gantry much smaller,
lighter and cheaper than conventional designs, with the
added ability to accept a wide range of fast changing
energies. This paper will build on previous work to
investigate a transport line which could be used for the
PAMELA project. The design is presented along with a
study and optimisation of its acceptance
PAMELA Overview : design goals and principles
The PAMELA (Particle Accelerator for MEdicaL
Applications) project is to design an
accelerator for proton and light ion therapy
using non-scaling Fixed Field Alternating
Gradient (FFAG) accelerators, as part of the
CONFORM project, which is also constructing
the EMMA electron model of a non-scaling
FFAG at Daresbury. This paper presents
an overview of the PAMELA design, and a
discussion of the design goals and the principles
used to arrive at a preliminary specification
of the accelerator
