  To obtain an ultrahigh vacuum, it is necessary to preliminarily degass the "warm" sections of the vacuum system of accelerators by prolonged heating to remove water vapor and molecules of other substances adsorbed on the inner surface of the walls of the vacuum chamber. The presented system allows you to heat products with a known unknown heat capacity and thermal conductivity. Some of the accelerators of the NICA complex are supplied without their own heating system and heating is carried out by specialists directly at the accelerator site.

  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 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.

  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.

TUPSB47 Stability Conditions for a Penning Trap with Rotating Quadrupole or Dipole Electric Fields quadrupole, dipole, space-charge, experiment 324
 
  • A.D. Ovsyannikov
    Saint Petersburg State University, Saint Petersburg, Russia
 
  The dynamics of particles in a Penning Malmberg Surko trap with Rotating Wall (rotating quadrupole and/or dipole electric field) and a buffer gas is considered. Electromagnetic traps are widely used for the accumulation and confinement of charged particles during various experiments in nuclear and accelerator physics, mass spectroscopy, and other fields. Traps are the main element of sources of charged particles in accelerators. An especially important role is played by traps with efficient accumulation during operation (in a cyclic mode) of ion synchrotrons and colliders with short-lived isotopes. The purpose of this work was to develop algorithms for constructing regions of asymptotic stability (according to Lyapunov) in the space of parameters describing additional rotating electric fields, and to determine the analytical conditions that must be satisfied by the trap parameters to achieve a given degree of stability. The influence of the space charge of a beam of accumulated particles on the stability of the system is also investigated. The calculation results and the proposed models can be used in the selection and adjustment of the main parameters of the designed traps of the considered type.

  The fast cycling superconducting SIS100 heavy ion accelerator is the designated working horse of the international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) under construction at GSI in Darmstadt, Germany. The main dipoles will ramp with 4 T/s and with a repetition frequency of 1 Hz up to a maximum magnetic field of 1.9 T. The field gradient of the main quadrupole will reach 27.77 T/m. The integral magnetic field length of the horizontal/vertical steerer and of the chromaticity sextupole corrector magnets will provide 0.403/0.41 m and 0.383 m, respectively. The series production of the high current quadrupoles and of the individually ramped low current corrector magnets was started in 2020 at the JINR in Dubna and is planned to be completed in 2023. We present the technological challenges that have to be solved from production of the first magnets toward a stable and high rate series production with reliably magnet quality as well as the first test results at operation conditions.

  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.

  The NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) is anew accelerator complex under construction at the the Laboratory of High Energy Physics (LHEP) JINR. The facility includes two injector chains, two existing superconducting synchrotrons Nuclotron and a new Booster, under construction superconducting Collider, consisting of two rings. The lattice of the Booster includes 48 superconducting quadrupole magnets that combined in doublets. Each doublet must be fiducialized to the calculated trajectory of the beam. Alignment of the magnetic axis is necessary for properly install the magnets at the beam trajectory. The vibrating wire technique was applied to obtain the position of the magnetic axis. A new measurement system has been worked out and produced at the LHEP. The magnetic axis positions of the quadrupole doublets are determined at the ambient temperature. Thepaper describes design of the measurement system, measuring procedure and results of the magnetic axis position measurements.

  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.

  Physical-Technical Center of P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of RAS and Protom Ltd. are engaged in development and implantation of synchrotrons for proton therapy into clinical practice. There are two proton therapy complexes "Prometheus" in Russia. That are fully developed and manufactured at Physical-Technical Center and Protom. Every day patients with head and neck cancer get treatment using "Prometheus" at the A. Tsyb Medical Radiological Research Center. At the moment these facilities together have accumulated more than 5 years of clinical experience. Two facilities are based on the Protom synchrotrons in the USA. One operates at the McLaren Hospital PT Center, it started to treat patients in 2018. Another one is as a part of the single-room proton therapy system "Radiance330" in Massachusetts General Hospital, that went into clinical operations in 2020. The first Israel proton therapy complex based on Protom synchrotron was launched in 2019. Protom facilities provide full stack of modern proton therapy technologies such as IMPT and pencil beam scanning. Key features of Protom synchrotron: low weight, compact size and low power consumption allow it to be placed in conventional hospitals without construction of any special infrastructure. This report presents current data on accelerator researches and developments of Physical-Technical Center and Protom Ltd. In addition, it provides data on the use of Protom based proton therapy complexes under the clinical conditions.

  Neutron monitors with gas filled proportional counters as a sensitive element were presented at RuPAC-2018. These monitors have been used recently to measure fast neutron fluxes near the carbon beam based experimental facility at IHEP. The experimental facility "Radiobiological test setup at the U-70 accelerator" was built at NRC "Kurchatov Institute" - IHEP, Protvino, to carry out radiobiological and physical experiments on the extracted beam of carbon nuclei with an energy up to 450 MeV/nucleon. The measurements were compared with the CERN FLUKA code simulations.
