Simulations of a superconducting ion gantry
Tóm tắt
Medical carbon-ion synchrotron is being developed at JINR on the basis of the in-house technology of Nuclotron superconducting magnets. The key element of the facility is a superconducting gantry that consists of two 67.5° and one 90° bending sections, each including two identical low-aperture (about 120 mm) dipole magnets with a magnetic field of 3.2 T. Such gantries are intended for multiple raster scanning with a wide carbon beam or for the technique of layerwise irradiation with a spread-out (several mm) Bragg peak. Simulations of the dipole magnets are the subject of this work.
