MOTIVATION

Incidence of Cancer in the UK
• 12.5% probability, all types (except skin cancer) by 65– Rises to more than 1/3rd for whole-life– Around half are associated with specific risks

Motivation
• Radiation treatment is very
effective– [Statistics show that of
those cured...]
“49% are cured by surgery,
– 40% by radiotherapy and
– 11% by chemotherapy”.
The Royal College of
Radiologists, BFCO(03)3,
(2003).
• Cancer treatment– In 40-50% of all cases
radiotherapy is part of the
treatment plan
• Motivation for protons and
light ions: most of energy
deposited in Bragg peak

Working Point and Tunes
• Working point– Choose high k to minimize
orbit excursion– Reasonably far away from
instability region
• Total machine tune variation (cell tune variation*12):– νx within 0.1
– νy within 0.24
– Well within an integer!
• Beam blow up– Linear lattice: Amplification
factor 360– Non-linear lattice: 7.6– (A = orbit distortion [mm] / 1σ
alignment error [mm])
• Achievable alignment toleranceSuzy Sheehy et al. PRST-AB.

octupole
• Challenges– Maximum field (4.25T)– Required bore (>250 mm)– Length restriction– High k
• Approach: Double-helix coils– Known since the 70s

Double-Helix Coils
• Vertical field as expected
• Horizontal field perturbed
• Why? – Helical coil:
solenoidal field + useful field
– Solenoidal field should cancel out
– Stray field: uncompensated solenoidal field
![Page 28: PAMELA – A Novel Accelerator for Charged Particle Therapy H Witte John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science, Keble Road, Oxford, OX1 3RH, UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062620/5519c2d055034660578b4c1c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Solenoidal Field
• Solenoids– B depends on
current (fixed) and radius
• Radius for coils is never the same– Always small
difference in field
• Quadruple helix– Allows
compensation

Helical Coil vs. Classical Designs
• Consider classical dipole • Two main differences
– Automatically more sections• More cross-sectional area
covered
– Not blocks of constant current density
• Effect– Better field quality– Less steep gradients of
vector potential– Lower magnetic field on wire

Summary and Outlook
• PAMELA– Exciting project to introduce CPT to the UK
• R&D– Many issues have been solved (on paper...)
• Lattice, RF, injector and kicker magnets
– Magnets• Helical coils are fascinating alternative
– Very good field quality, better performance
• Very flexible
• Ongoing work– Gantry– Transport line– 4T septum
• PAMELA is not the only interesting development– RCS, Cyclinacs, IBA C400, Still River, ...– Future should be very exciting!
