  ADAM (Ap­pli­ca­tion of De­tec­tors and Ac­cel­er­a­tors to Med­i­cine) is a CERN spin-off com­pany cur­rently work­ing on the con­struc­tion and test­ing of the LIGHT (Linac for Im­age-Guided Hadron Ther­apy) ma­chine. LIGHT is an in­no­v­a­tive high-fre­quency linac based pro­ton ther­apy sys­tem de­signed to ac­cel­er­ate pro­tons up to 230 MeV: it con­sists of three dif­fer­ent linac sec­tions i.e. a 750 MHz Radio Fre­quency Quadru­pole (RFQ) ac­cel­er­at­ing the beam up to 5 MeV; a 3 GHz Side Cou­pled Drift Tube Linac (SCDTL) up to 37.5 MeV; and a 3 GHz Cou­pled Cav­ity Linac (CCL) sec­tion up to 230 MeV. The com­pact and mod­u­lar de­sign is based on cut­ting edge tech­nolo­gies de­vel­oped for par­ti­cle col­lid­ers and adapted to the needs of hadron ther­apy beams. The LIGHT de­vel­op­ment ma­chine is cur­rently being built at CERN and this paper de­scribes its de­sign as­pects and its dif­fer­ent stages of in­stal­la­tion and com­mis­sion­ing.
