Abstract

The improved electron accelerator for cable insulation treatment equipped with 4-side irradiation system was developed in Budker -Institute of Nuclear Physics on the basis of ELV series accelerator and was put into operation in "Podolskcabel Ltd". During the operation it confirmed the high efficiency and proved the advantages of new method of irradiation. The control system of accelerator and cable transporting line through irrradiation zone and take up and pay out machines are joined together, that enables to carry out electron-beam treatment of wires and cable parts in fully automated mode. This new methods allow to increase both productivity and quality of electron beam treatment.

CENTERS OF HADRON THERAPY ON THE BASIS OF CYCLOTRONS

E. Syresinª

Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia

Abstract

Hadron therapy hospital centers have become wide spread in the world during the last decade. These centers were created mainly on basis of the cycling accelerators such as cyclotrons and synchrotrons. Now there are several proposals of the proton centers on the basis of linear accelerators. In this report we discuss features, advantages and disadvantages of hadron therapy centers on the basis of cyclotron equipment. Both proton and carbon therapy techniques are considered in this report.

It is proposed to construct a cyclotron-based proton therapy center in Dubna. The medical cyclotron for this center is to be constructed by JINR-IBA collaboration this year. The cyclotron beam test experiments are plan for 2009. After that the medical cyclotron could be used for the Dubna hospital center and contribute to promoting the proton therapy in the future Russian centers.

Abstract

The production of radionuclides for medicine is an important field of application of modern cyclotrons for average energies accelerating light particles (protons and deuterons).

A series of compact cyclotrons, such as the CC-12, the CC-18/9 and the MCC-30/15 intended for the production of photon and positron emitters for SPECT and PET diagnostic centers has been designed and manufactured at the D.V. Efremov Scientific Research Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus. The cyclotrons ensure the acceleration of negative hydrogen and deuterium ions up to the following energies: the ΡΡ-12 – up to 12 MeV (hydrogen ions); the ΡΡ-18/9 – up to 18 MeV (hydrogen ions) and up to 9 MeV (deuterium ions); the ΜΡΡ-30/15 – variable energy: 18÷30 MeV (hydrogen ions) and 9÷15 MeV (deuterium ions). An external injection system is used in these cyclotrons; the beams of accelerated protons and deuterons are extracted by ion stripping on carbon foils.

The main advantage of the aforementioned cyclotrons is an easy access to the devices located inside vacuum chambers by moving apart a part of the magnet to a distance of up to 800 mm along the guides (the median plane of the cyclotron is located vertically).

Successful putting into operation of two CC-18/9 cyclotrons, one in Turky, Finland (2005) and the other in St.Petersburg (2006) allows us to realize a serial production of these accelerators intended for use at PET centers.

The parameters and characteristics of the main units of the aforementioned accelerators are given.

Abstract

In the last years the interest towards pulse neutron generators is growing due to continuing research in nuclear physics (using flight time methods) and due to the importance of possible applications. Such generators allow to develop highly effective detectors for radioactive materials, but as well for explosives, drugs, and poisons. The Efremov Institute has carried out a series of research and development projects in order to create generators capable of producing neutron fluxes of high intensity in continuous mode, but also capable of operating in pulse mode with a wide range of pulse frequency and repetition rate.

Abstract

The irradiation of carbon ion beam cancer is very effective and successful treatment as was demonstrated at NIRS (Chibo) and other laboratories [1]. The scattering ion on the way to irradiation point so huge that initial small momentum spread and emitances cooled ion beam looks luxuries that really not necessary. At this article discussed way cooling can made this facility cheaper and more reliable. At this year started project this facility for the company IREN P.R. China. At report made short introduction acceleration aspects of this project development at BINP (Novosibirsk).

Abstract

Present status of the accelerator mass-spectrometer facility (AMS) is described. The main parts of AMS facility have been manufactured and installed at BINP. The most distinguishing features of our AMS machine are the use of the middle energy separator of ion beams and magnesium vapors target as a stripper. The results of first experiments for beam selection and background measurements are presented.
