CNAO is a synchrotron accelerator presently under commissioning in Pavia. The aim of this accelerator is to treat tumors with hadrons and to perform advanced clinical and radiobiological research. The CNAO will start treating patients with protons (60-250 MeV range) and carbon ions (120-400 MeV/u range) in three treatment rooms with four beam lines. Future upgrade with gantries is foreseen. This paper describes the design, magnetic measurements and sorting criterion used for the sixteen synchrotron main dipoles and twenty-four quadrupoles. The magnetic measurements results are compared with magnetic simulation. |

The National Centre for Oncological Hadrontherapy (CNAO) will be the first Italian facility for the treatment of deep located tumours with proton and carbon ion beams and active scanning technique. The accelerator complex consists of an injection system, a synchrotron and 5 extraction lines. By the end of 2009 the ECR sources, Low Energy Transfer Line (LEBT), RFQ and LINAC where fully commissioned; in December injection and first turns in the synchrotron were also successfully achieved. Full installation of machine and extraction lines was completed in early 2010. The recent advances in the commissioning and performance of the CNAO complex are being reported in this contribution. |
