  Introduction: In November 2015 the first domestic complex of proton therapy "Prometheus" start to treat oncology patients. This complex uses a modern technique for irradiation of tumors by scanning with a pencil beam. This technique requires continuous monitoring and regular verification of main beam parameters such as range in water, focusing and lateral dimension. To control these parameters, we developed a waterproof detector for measurements in air and in a water phantom. Methods and materials: The detector system consists of a luminescent screen 5 cm in diameter, a mirror and a CCD camera. When the beam goes through the screen, a glow appears, the reflected image of which is perceived by the camera and analyzed. This design is waterproof, which makes it possible to perform measurements in water. To measure the range of protons in water, this detector was fixed on a special positioner, which allows to move the sensor with an accuracy of 0.2 mm. We measured the beams also in comparison with EBT3 dosimetric film for energies from 60 to 250 MeV with a step of 10 MeV. Same measurements of the ranges were carried out using a standard PTW Bragg Peak ionization chamber. Results: It was shown that this system is a simple and inexpensive tool for conducting regular quality assurance of beam parameters. Unlike the EBT3 dosimetric film, this detector gives an immediate response, which makes it possible to use it when debugging the accelerator and adjusting the beam.

  The main activities of Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, following its name - are related to fundamental science, but in parallel a lot of efforts are paid for practical applications. Currently, work is underway to create an irradiation facility based on the DC140 cyclotron for applied research at FLNR. The beam transport system will have three experimental beam lines for testing of electronic components (avionics and space electronics) for radiation hardness, for ion-implantation nanotechnology and for radiation materials science. The DC140 cyclotron is intended to accelerate heavy ions with mass-to-charge ratio A/Z within interval from 5 to 8.25 up to two fixed energies 2.124 and 4.8 MeV per unit mass. The intensity of the accelerated ions will be about 1 pmcA for light ions (A<86) and about 0.1 pmcA for heavier ions (A>132). The extraction system based on four main elements - electrostatic deflector, focusing magnetic channel, Permanent Magnet Quadrupole lens and steering magnet. The results of numerical simulation of the electrostatic deflector of DC140 cyclotron are presented in this this paper.

  Third-order resonance slow extraction from synchrotron is the most common use extraction method for external target experiments nuclear physics, proton and heavy ion therapy, since it can provide relatively stable beams in long time. The principle of third-order resonant slow extraction is intentionally exciting the third-order resonance by controlling detuning and sextupole strength to gradually release particles from inside to outside stable separatrix. BINP develop the ion synchrotron for wide range of technological application. The present paper describes slow extraction method with exiting betatron oscillations by the transverse RF-field. Such extraction technique provides stable current extraction for entire extraction time.

  Currently, the calculation of the proton range in patients receiving proton therapy is based on the conversion of Hounsfield CT units of the patient’s tissues into the relative stopping power of protons. Proton radiography is able to reduce these uncertainties by directly measuring proton stopping power. However, proton imaging systems cannot handle the proton beam intensities used in standard proton therapy. This means that for implementation of proton radiography it is necessary to reduce the intensity of the protons significantly. This study demonstrates the current version of the new beam control system for low proton intensity extraction. The system is based on automatic removable unit with special luminescence film and sensitive photoreceptor. Using of the removable module allows us to save initial parameters of the therapy beam. Remote automatic control of this unit will provide switch therapy and imaging modes between synchrotron cycles. The work describes algorithms of low flux beam control, calibration procedures and experimental measurements. Measurements and calibration procedures were performed with certified Protom Faraday Cup, PTW Bragg Peak Chamber and specially designed experimental external detector. The development can be implemented in any proton therapy complexes based on the Protom synchrotron. This allow us to use initial synchrotron beam as a tool for patient verification and to eliminate proton range uncertainties.

  For many years Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics produces medium-energy industrial electron beam accelerators. Flexible (due to the possibility of completing with different systems) and reliable accelerators cover the energy range from 0.3 to 3 MeV, and up to 130 mA of beam current, with power up to 100 kW. High electrical efficiency allows the use of accelerators in almost all areas of radiation technology, from cross-linking of the insulation, heat shrinkable tubes and films to the production of foamed polyethylene and modification of rubber blanks for tires. All models have a unified design with a difference in overall dimensions, the length of the accelerating tube, the number of high-voltage rectifier sections, and the type of extraction device. This makes it easy to adapt the accelerators to the requirements of the technology line. ELV accelerator with an energy range of 0.3-0.5 MeV, beam current up to 130 mA, and power up to 100 kW was successfully designed, tested, and installed on the customer’s site. The accelerator is compact in overall dimensions and installed in the local steel shielding. The electron beam is extracted through a two-windows extraction system with one titanium foil 180 mm wide. New accelerators of the ELV type are also being developed. Namely ELV-15 with energy range up to 3.0 MeV and power up to 100 kW. At present time accelerator was assembled and under testing in Novosibirsk.

  For over 30 years, an extraction device has been successfully working in BINP at the ELV-6 accelerator to extract a focused beam of electrons into the atmosphere. The accelerating tube with permanent magnetic lenses was used in this installation. The design of these accelerator tubes with magnetic lenses is rather complicated. Recently, simpler design and high reliability accelerating tubes with big aperture is operating in ELV accelerators. For this reason, the problem number one at present is to develop the extraction device, capable of reliably working with serial accelerator tubes, of the ELV accelerator with power up to100 kW. The lens L1 is located directly at the lower end of the accelerating tube. Passing the lens L1, the beam is focused near the diaphragm D6 and increases to a diameter of 10 mm in the diaphragm D5. For passing the beam along the axis of the diaphragms, there are corrections coils C1 C2 C3. The diameter of diaphragm hole D1 is the most critical, because it determines the flow of gas that should be pumped out in the following steps of the vacuum system. Measurements of the parameters of a high-power electron beam were carried out up to a power of 100 kW. As a result of the made experiments the minimum diameter of the beam at the exit from the extractions device has been 2 mm at the energy of 1,4 MeV and the beam current of 60 mA.
