Abstract
A project for a new generation of proton and ion accelerator facilities for cancer therapy has been developed at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP), Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS). This facility includes an electrostatic injector, a booster with a 10-Hz repetition rate, and a main synchrotron with electron cooling and beam transport lines for delivering the beam to treatment rooms. The application of electron cooling makes it possible to increase the beam intensity and reduce the apertures of both the synchrotron and the high-energy transport lines, as well as save construction costs and energy consumption as required by the accelerator complex. This paper describes the main features of the synchrotron and the requirements for its main systems and their parameters.
