Accelerators for ion beam therapy are always based on synchrotrons if ions other than protons are used.
In order to be able to use the raster scanning method, the beam must be slowly extracted from the synchrotron.
This talk summarizes the most important current requirements for slow extraction at medical facilities.
Additionally we ask: What future topics are being discussed a lot in...
The need for greater flexibility, faster turnaround times, reduced energy consumption, reducing operational cost at maximum physics output and the sheer size of potential future accelerators such as the FCC ask for new particle accelerator operational models with automation at the center. AI/ML is already playing a significant role in the accelerator domain with numerous applications in...
The CERN Super Proton Synchrotron offers slow-extracted, high-intensity proton beams at 400 GeV/c for 3 fixed targets in the CERN North Area hall with a spill length of about 5 s. Various effects are detrimental to the spill quality due to the nature of slow extraction. Some of these spill deterioration sources have been successfully tackled in recent years and for others, projects are ongoing...
Protons impacting the electrostatic septum wires produce a significant activation of the septum and its surroundings. Such induced activation is the main limiting factor for the number of protons that can be delivered to the experiments and hence to the physics thruput of the CERN SPS. In this contribution, we present a data-driven model to predict the induced radioactivity around the...
A third-integer resonant slow extraction system is being developed for the Fermilab's Delivery Ring to deliver protons to the Mu2e experiment. During a slow extraction process, the beam on target is liable to experience small intensity variations due to many factors. Owing to the experiment's strict requirements in the quality of the spill, a Spill Regulation System (SRS) is currently under...
