Optical design of beam for proton therapy energy selection system based on CYCIAE-230 superconducting cyclotron by ZHAO Bohan, GUO Qiankun, ZHANG Tianjue, WANG Chuan, YIN Zhiguo, SONG Qiqi, HE Aolai, LIU Zhan, WANG Xi, HU Mingzhi, LIU Jingyuan, WANG Yang, ZHU Xiaofeng, XIONG Rui, JIANG Tianyi

“…Existing schemes for controlling the emittance are based on switching combinations of collimators with different apertures, where the adjustable emittance is limited by the number of combinations of apertures, and the need for a small aperture collimator upstream or downstream of the ESS to suppress the beam intensity limits the possibility of increasing the high-energy beam intensity.PurposeThis study aims to propose the beam optics design of proton therapy energy selection system (ESS) on the basis of the superconducting cyclotron CYCIAE-230 under development by the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) that can flexibly control the beam emittance and transmission.MethodsFirst of all, the main optical design features of this ESS was described, and the Monte Carlo method based FLUKA code was applied to calculating the beam emittance, energy, and energy spread of a proton passing through a degrader with a set of collimators. …”
