MOPSA39 | Application of a Scintillation Detector for Periodic Monitoring of Beam Parameters at Medical Proton Therapy Complex "Prometheus" | proton, detector, extraction, synchrotron | 176 |
|
|||
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. | |||

|
|||
This paper describes the main features of newest version of PIPLAN proton- carbon ion radiation therapy planning system. The PIPLAN 2021 code was assigned for precise Monte Carlo treatment planning for heterogeneous areas, including lung, head and neck location. Two various computer methods are used to modeling the interactions between the proton and carbon ion beam and the patient’s anatomy to determine the spatial distribution of the radiation physical and biological dose. The first algorithm is based on the use of the RTS&T 2021 precision radiation transport code system. The second algorithm is based on the original Ulmer’s method for primary proton beam and adapted Ulmer’s algorithm for primary carbon ion beam. | |||

MOPSA41 | Effect of a Proton Beam from a Linear Accelerator for Radiation Therapy | proton, simulation, distributed, linac | 182 |
|
|||
Linear accelerators can provide beam characteristics that cannot be achieved by circular accelerators. We refer to the concept of a compact linac for creating a proton accelerator with a maximum energy of 230 MeV, operating in a pulsed mode. The linac is designed to accelerate up to 1013 particles per 10 to 200 seconds irradiation cycle and is capable of fast adjustment the output energy in the range from 60 to 230 MeV, forming a pencil-like beam with a diameter of ~2 mm. Simulation of dose distribution from a proton beam in a water phantom has been performed. The radiological effect of the linac beam during fast energy scanning is considered, and the features for providing the high dose rate flash radiation therapy are specified. The possibility of a magnetic system for increasing the transverse dimensions of the beam-affected region is discussed. | |||

MOPSA45 | Experimental Simulation of Volume Repainting Technique at Proton Synchrotron in Context of Spot Scanning Proton Therapy | target, proton, HOM, simulation | 192 |
|
|||
Background: Reduction the influence of respiration-induced intrafractional motion of tissues is one of the main tasks of proton therapy with a scanning beam. Repainting is one of the techniques of motion compensation. It consists in multiple repeated irradiations of the entire volume or individual iso-energy layers with a dose that is a multiple of the prescribed dose. As a result, the dose is averaged, which leads to an increase in the uniformity of the dose field. Purpose: Experimental simulation of volume sequential repainting and dosimetric estimation of its capabilities in the context of spot scanning proton therapy (SSPT) using dynamic phantom. Materials and Methods: Simulation of respiration-like translational motion is performed using the non-anthropomorphic water dynamic phantom. Target of this phantom is compatible with EBT-3 films. Estimation of repainting technique is based on the analysis of average dose, dose uniformity in region of interests located within planning target volume, and dose gradients. Results: Repainting was estimated for motion with amplitudes of 2, 5, 10 mm with different number of iterations up to 10 at the prescribed dose of 6 Gy. This one increased the uniformity of the dose field from 85,9% to 96,0% at an amplitude of 10 mm and 10 iterations. Conclusions: Volume repainting improves the uniformity of dose distribution. However, the irradiation time increases, and the dose gradients deteriorate in proportion to the amplitude of motion. | |||

MOPSA47 | Verification of a Beam of Epithermal Neutrons for Boron-Neutron Capture Therapy | neutron, proton, detector, experiment | 199 |
|
|||
Funding: The research was supported by Russian Science Foundation, grant No. 19-72-30005. At Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics it was proposed and developed a source of epithermal neutrons based on a tandem accelerator with vacuum insulation and a lithium target for the development of boron neutron capture therapy, a promising method for treating malignant tumors. To measure the "boron" dose due to the boron-lithium reaction, a small-sized detector has been developed. It consists of two polystyrene scintillators, one of which is enriched with boron. Using the detector, the spatial distribution of boron dose and dose of gamma radiation in a 330x330x315 mm water phantom was measured and the results obtained were compared with the results of numerical simulation of the absorbed dose components in such a tissue-equivalent phantom. It is shown that the results obtained are in good agreement with the calculated ones. It was found that the use of a 72 mm Plexiglas moderator provides an acceptable quality of the neutron beam for in vitro and in vivo studies, namely: 1 mA 2.05 MeV proton beam on a lithium target provides a dose rate of 30 Gy-Eq/h in cells containing boron at a concentration of 40 ppm, and 6 Gy-Eq/h in cells without boron. The developed technique for on-line measurement of boron dose and dose of gamma radiation makes it possible to carry out a similar verification of a neutron beam prepared for clinical trials of BNCT after placing a neutron beam shaping assembly with a magnesium fluoride moderator in a bunker adjacent to the accelerator. |

MOPSA54 | Calculation of Dose Fields and Energy Spectra of Secondary Radiation in the Extraction Zone of a Synchrotron Accelerator for Protons With Energies Up to 700 MeV | proton, simulation, synchrotron, experiment | 222 |
|
|||
The possibility of using a multipurpose synchrotron accelerator for researching the processes of heavy charged particles interaction with various materials is considered. The accelerator provides proton energies up to 700 MeV. It is necessary to evaluate the emerging dose fields at the design stage of the experimental room. In this case, it is important to evaluate the dose distribution, energies and types of secondary radiation that may enter the adjacent rooms. This paper presents the results of the radiation environment evaluation in the radiation extraction zone of the synchrotron accelerator. Simulation results of secondary radiation energy spectra near the walls, which separate the irradiation zone from adjacent rooms, are presented. Proton energies are equal to 60, 85, 110 and 700 MeV are considered. Simulation was performed by the Monte Carlo method in a program developed using Geant4* libraries.

TUPSB16 | Calculation and Optimization of High-Energy Beam Transfer Lines by the Monte Carlo Method | proton, emittance, beam-transport, ion-source | 262 |
|
|||
The calculation of high-energy beam lines consists of tracing of the proton beam trajectories along the transport channel from the source. The PROTONMK program code was developed to carry out such calculations using the Monte Carlo method. The beam from the accelerator is introduced in the form of a multivariate Gaussian distribution in x,x’,z,z’,dp/p phase space. In the case when an absorber (absorber, air section, window in the channel, etc.) is installed in the transport channel the beam parameters after the absorber are calculated using the GEANT4. The output file of this code can be used as input for the program. The program allows calculation of any beam parameters - intensity, spatial or phase density, energy distribution, etc. The program includes a block for the optimization of beam parameters presented in a functional form. Random search method with learning for search correction based on analysis of intermediate results (so-called statistical gradient method) is used for obtaining the global maximum of a function of many variables. The program has been tested in calculations of the beam transport lines for IC-80 cyclotron and for the development of the beam line for ophthalmology. | |||

TUPSB20 | Selection of a System for Correcting the Energy Spread of Relativistic Electron Bunches for a Free Electron Laser | GUI, electron, wakefield, ECR | 268 |
|
|||
The object of this work is a device called dechirper, which is used to decrease energy spread in relativistic electron bunch for free electron laser application. This system is based on cylindrical dielectric waveguide with vacuum channel needed for electron bunch passing. The Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation excited in waveguide is used to profile electromagnetic field inside the bunch and as a consequence to achieve the required energy distribution. The work includes numerical modeling of the electron beam passage through a waveguide structure, the generation of wake radiation and the interaction of this radiation with an electron bunch. We made original code to carry out numerical modeling, where the method of macroparticles and the method of Green’s function are implemented. The dependences of the energy compression coefficient and the length at which the maximum energy compression coefficient is achieved on various parameters of the dielectric waveguide structure and the physical parameters of electron bunches were identified. Various recommendations were also made on the choice of a waveguide used as a dechirper. | |||

TUPSB29 | Geant4 for Inverse Compton Radiation Source Simulations | electron, laser, photon, scattering | 286 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported by the RFBR grant 19-29-12036. Compton backscattering* is a promising mechanism for engineering of a bright, compact and versatile X-ray source: with dimensions being significantly smaller, the brightness of this source is comparable with that of synchrotron radiation. Nowadays, active researches are underway on various aspects of this phenomenon** aiming at increasing of radiation intensity and quality. In modern science, such kind of research is necessarily accompanied by the computer simulations. In this report, we are talking about creation and implementation of the Compton backscattering module into the Geant4 package***, which is the leading simulation toolkit in high-energy physics, accelerator physics, medical physics, and space studies. Created module of Compton backscattering has been implemented as a discrete physical process and operates with a fixed light target (a virtual volume with the properties of a laser beam), with which a beam of charged particles interacts. Such a description allows user to flexibly change necessary parameters depending on the problem being solved, which opens up new possibilities for using Geant4 in the studied area. * K.T.

TUPSB32 | Emission of Photons at the Interaction of a High-Energy Positron Beam with a Periodically Deformed Crystal | undulator, positron, photon, experiment | 289 |
|
|||
Funding: Russian science foundation (grant 17-12-01532) Periodically deformed crystals have long attracted at-tention as "crystalline undulators". In the experi-ment carried out at the U-70 accelerator, the radiation of positrons moving in a periodically deformed crystal was observed. Experimental evidence has been obtained for an undulator peak in a radiation spectrum, which is quali-tatively consistent with calculations. It is shown that most of the emitted energy is due to hard photons with energies of tens of MeV as a result of channeling and reflection of particles, whose spectral density is several times higher than the radiation in an amorphous target. |

TUPSB53 | Measurement of Parameters of Neutron Radiation on the Accelerator-Based Epithermal Neutron Source | neutron, target, proton, tandem-accelerator | 337 |
|
|||
Funding: The research was supported by Russian Science Foundation, grant No. 19-72-30005. The accelerator-based epithermal neutrons source, proposed and created in the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, provides the generation and formation of a neutron flux suitable for testing the boron neutron capture therapy of malignant tumors. The paper presents and discusses the results of studies using activation techniques. Using activation foils from the SWX-1552 kit (Shieldwerx, USA), an iterative grid method for reconstructing the neutron spectrum was tested. It was found that the use of activation foils for determining the spectrum of epithermal neutrons is questionable, since the main part of the interaction falls on the high-energy part of the spectrum, instead of the resonance of the foil. The number of neutrons is equal to the number of activated beryllium-7 nuclei (it has been proven by measurements that beryllium-7 is not sputtered from the lithium layer). The neutron yield was monitored by registering gamma quanta from the 7Li(p, n)7Be reaction. Depending on the number of registered gamma quanta, recalculation was made for the amount of activated beryllium. In this paper it was measured the number of neutrons depending on different geometries, different parameters of the proton beam and target material, there is a good agreement with the theory. |

WEPSC08 | Vacuum Condition Simulations for Vacuum Chambers of Synchrotron Radiation Source | vacuum, storage-ring, synchrotron, synchrotron-radiation | 358 |
|
|||
Analysis of gas loads for the vacuum system chambers of the 6GeV synchrotron radiation (SR) source are carried out. The main source of gas loads is the photostimulated desorption induced by SR. The influence of storage ring lattice, geometric dimensions and beam parameters on the vacuum conditions in SR-source prototype chambers is studied. The geometric model of the storage ring chamber designed for simulation is considered. The simulation of the radiation flux parameters generated by the charged particles passing through the section of the vacuum chamber has been performed. The technique of calculating the parameters of SR and photostimulated desorption by means of Synrad+ and Molflow+ codes is applied. | |||

WEPSC29 | Diagnostics of the Proton Beam Position Using the Luminescence of a Lithium Neutron-Generating Target | target, proton, neutron, tandem-accelerator | 396 |
|
|||
Funding: This study was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, project No. 19-32-90119. An accelerator-based source of epithermal neutrons was proposed and created at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. It consists of a vacuum-insulated tandem accelerator for producing a proton beam and a lithium target for generating neutrons as a result of the 7Li(p, n)7Be threshold reaction. With the use of a video camera and a spectrometer, the luminescence of lithium was registered when the lithium target was irradiated with protons. The recorded emission line 610.3 ± 0.5 nm corresponds to the electronic transition in the lithium atom 1s23d -> 1s22p, and the 670.7 ± 1 nm line corresponds to the 1s22p -> 1s22s transition. Based on the results of the study, the visual diagnostics for operational monitoring of the position and the size of the proton beam on the surface of a lithium target was developed and put into operation. The diagnostics can be applied in the neutron generation mode. The possibility of detecting luminescence made it possible to ensure the reliability of measuring the current of the argon ion beam accompanying the proton beam. When studying the blistering of a metal upon implantation of protons with an energy of 2 MeV, luminescence could lead to an overestimation of the surface temperature measured by a thermal imager. |

WEPSC36 | Simulation of the Coherent Radiation Interferometry for the Beam Temporal Structure Diagnostics | detector, simulation, electron, target | 413 |
|
|||
Today, free electron lasers and new facilities that are capable of generating sequences of short electron bunches with a high (THz) repetition rate have widely developed. The existing diagnostic methods for such sequences have limitations or are not applicable. Therefore, it is important to develop new approaches to diagnose the temporal structure of such sequences (trains) in modern accelerators. In this report, we describe a model of coherent radiation interferometry using a Michelson interferometer. The mechanisms of transition and diffraction radiation are selected as the radiation source. The model takes into account the finite target size, the parameters of the sequence structure and the detector characteristics. The simulation results allow us to conclude that the analysis of the radiation intensity autocorrelation function itself can be applied as diagnostics method of an arbitrary bunch train temporal structure. Based on such method we can obtain information on the bunch number in the train and the distance between bunches. | |||

WEPSC57 | System of on-Line Energy Control of Electron Beam for Accelerator | electron, monitoring, controls, detector | 446 |
|
|||
There arises a need for measuring the output electron energy in the on-line mode during set-up, adjustment or operation of an accelerator. For this purpose a system is developed, allowing an on-line control of an accelerated electron energy spectrum simultaneously with average current measurement. This system is meant for reconstruction of the energy spectrum of accelerated electrons in the energy range from 1 up to 10 MeV at the average beam current from 20 up to 150 µA. The system is based on the method of absorbing filters and consists of an assembly, absorbing an accelerated electron beam, and a measuring system. The absorption assembly represents a set of insulated from each other electro-conducting plates of dimension 100x100 mm and thickness from 0.15 up to 1 mm with an air gap between plates 2 mm. The operation involves development, manufacture and calculation of electron beam transmission through the absorption assembly, development and manufacture of hardware for automated measuring of absorbed charges in the assembly elements, development of a master computer program as well as a program of energy spectrum reconstruction, using measured and calculated data, testing of the energy on-line control system on the LU-10-20 linear resonance electron accelerator. Tests of the developed sample on the electron accelerator have proved the applicability of the system to control the electron beam energy in the real-time mode. | |||

FRA02 | Cyclotron of Multicharged Ions | cyclotron, injection, vacuum, resonance | 96 |
|
|||
The JSC "NIIEFA" is designing a cyclotron system intended to accelerate ions with a mass-to-charge ratio of 3-7 in the energy range of 7.5-15 MeV per nucleon. The variety of ions, the range of changes in their energy, and the intensity of the beams provide conditions for a wide range of basic and applied research, including for solving a number of technological tasks. The cyclotron electromagnet has an H-shaped design with a pole diameter of 4 meters and a four-sector mag-netic structure. In the basic mode, the dependence of the induction on the radius corresponding to the isochronous motion is realized by turning on the main coil only through the shape of the central plugs, sector side plates, and sector chamfers. For other modes of isochronous ac-celeration, the current in the main coil is changed and cor-rection coils are tuned. The resonance system consists of two resonators with an operating frequency adjustable from 13 to 20 MHz. The final stage of the RF generator is installed close to the resonator and is connected to it by a conductive power input device. The external injection system generates and separates ions with a given A/z ratio. The injection energy is chosen such that the Larmor radius is constant, which allows us-ing an inflector of unchanged geometry for the entire list of ions. The transportation system forms beams of accelerated ions with specified parameters and delivers them to sample irradiation devices. Computer control of the cyclotron is provided. | |||

FRA05 | Cyclotron System C-250 | proton, cyclotron, resonance, controls | 105 |
|
|||
JSC "NIIEFA" is designing a cyclotron system that gen-erates intensive proton beams with final energy in the range of 30-250 MeV. We have adopted a non-standard technical solution: at the energy of less than 125 MeV negative hydrogen ions are accelerated with the extrac-tion of protons by the stripping device; at higher energies protons are accelerated, and the beam is extracted by a deflector and a magnetic channel. The isochronous de-pendence of the magnetic field on the radius for different final energies is provided by changing the current in the main coil and tuning the correction coils. The cyclotron electromagnet has an H-shaped design with a pole diameter of 4 meters, a four-sector magnetic structure, and high spirality sectors. The dees of the reso-nance system are formed by delta electrodes and placed in the opposite valleys; stems are brought outwards through holes in the valleys. The operating frequency range is 24-33.2 MHz. The power of the RF generator is 60 kW. The cyclotron complex is equipped with a branched beam transport system and target devices for applied re-search on the radiation resistance of materials. Computer control of the cyclotron and its associated systems is provided. | |||
