  Can­cer ther­apy with ions has sev­eral ad­van­tages over X-ray and pro­ton ther­apy, but its dif­fu­sion re­mains lim­ited pri­mar­ily be­cause of the size and cost of the ac­cel­er­a­tor. To de­velop tech­nolo­gies that might im­prove per­for­mance and re­duce ac­cel­er­a­tor cost with re­spect to pre­sent fa­cil­i­ties, CERN has re­cently launched the Next Ion Med­ical Ma­chine Study (NIMMS), lever­ag­ing CERN ex­per­tise in ac­cel­er­a­tor fields to dis­sem­i­nate tech­nolo­gies de­vel­oped for basic sci­ence. A per­spec­tive user and key part­ner of NIMMS is the SEEI­IST (South East Eu­ro­pean In­ter­na­tional In­sti­tute for Sus­tain­able Tech­nolo­gies), es­tab­lished to build in the re­gion an in­no­v­a­tive fa­cil­ity for com­bined can­cer ther­apy and bio­med­ical re­search with ion beams. For SEEI­IST and other po­ten­tial users, three op­tions are being con­sid­ered. Con­cep­tual de­signs of a warm-mag­net syn­chro­tron at high beam in­ten­sity, of a com­pact su­per­con­duct­ing syn­chro­tron, and of a high-fre­quency lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor have been com­pared in terms of cost, risk and de­vel­op­ment time. The de­vel­op­ment of curved su­per­con­duct­ing mag­nets, of com­pact syn­chro­trons and ion gantries, and of linacs is being pur­sued within EU-funded pro­jects or spe­cific col­lab­o­ra­tions

  In the con­text of the Fu­ture Cir­cu­lar Col­lider hadron-hadron (FCC-hh) R&D pro­gram, the Ital­ian In­sti­tute of Nu­clear Physics (INFN), in col­lab­o­ra­tion with CERN, is re­spon­si­ble for de­sign­ing and con­struct­ing the Fal­con Di­pole (Fu­ture Ac­cel­er­a­tor post-LHC Cos­theta Op­ti­mized Nb3Sn Di­pole), which is an im­por­tant step to­wards the con­struc­tion of High Field Nb3Sn mag­nets for a post LHC col­lider. The mag­net is a short model with one aper­ture of 50 mm and the tar­get bore field is 12 T (14 T ’ul­ti­mate’ field). The di­pole is pre-loaded with the Blad­der&Key tech­nique to min­i­mize the stress on the coils at room tem­per­a­ture, which are prone to degra­da­tion be­cause of the Nb3Sn cable strain-sen­si­tiv­ity. The elec­tro-me­chan­i­cal 2D de­sign is fo­cused on the per­for­mance, the field qual­ity and the quench pro­tec­tion, with em­pha­sis to the stresses on the the con­duc­tor. The Fal­con Di­pole has been mod­elled in a 3D FEM to de­ter­mine the peak field dis­tri­b­u­tion and the in­flu­ence of the coil ends on the field qual­ity.
