Design of a non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator for charged particle therapy
- Abstract:
-
This thesis describes the design a novel type of particle accelerator for charged particle therapy. The accelerator is called a non-scaling, Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (ns-FFAG) accelerator, and will accelerate both protons and carbon ions to energies required for clinical use. The work is undertaken as part of the PAMELA project. An existing design for a ns-FFAG is taken as a starting point and analysed in terms of its ability to suit the charged particle therapy application. It is fo...
