Ion beam analysis based on cellular nonlinear networks
The development of a non- destructive measurement method for ion beam parameters has been treated in various projects. Although results are promising, the high complexity of beam dynamics has made it impossible to implement a real time process control up to now. In this paper we will propose analysing methods based on the dynamics of Cellular Nonlinear Networks (CNN) that can be implemented on pixel parallel CNN based architectures and yield satisfying results even at low resolutions
Design of the 7 MeV/u, 217 MHz Injector Linac for the Proposed Ion Beam Facility for Cancer Therapy at the Clinic in Heidelberg
A dedicated clinical synchrotron facility for cancer therapy using energetic
proton and ion beams (C, He and O) has been designed at GSI for the
Radiologische Universitaetsklinik at Heidelberg, Germany. The design of the
injector linac is presented. Suitable ion sources are discussed and results of
ion source test measurements are reported. The LEBT allows for switching
between two ion sources. A short RFQ accelerates the ions from 8 keV/u to 400
keV/u. It is followed by a very compact beam matching section and a 3.8 m long
IH-type drift tube linac for the acceleration to 7 MeV/u. Both rf structures
are designed for a resonance frequency of 216.816 MHz and for ion
mass-to-charge ratios up to A/q = 3 (12C4+, (H_3)+, 3He+, 16O6+).Comment: Contribution to the LINAC2000 Proceedings, Paper ID: MOD1
