Siemens has earned two contracts to deliver Particle Therapy* systems to be operated in Marburg and Kiel, both in Germany. The accelerator consists of an injector (7 MeV/u protons and light ions) and a compact synchrotron able to accelerate proton beams up to 250 MeV and carbon ions up to 430 MeV/u. These beams can be slowly extracted and delivered to a choice of fixed-angle horizontal, semi-vertical and vertical beam-ports. An overview of the design will be given. At the time of PAC09 installation of the first system will be nearing completion and commissioning will have started. Performance of some of the components and the status of the projects will be presented.


*Particle Therapy is a work in progress and requires country-specific regulatory approval prior to clinical use.
