Variant of the Protons Beam Delivery System for the Oncological Ophthalmological Center of Proton Radiation Therapy at the NRC “Kurchatov Institute”–PNPI
Abstract—A variant of the protons beam delivery system with an energy of 60 MeV for the future oncoophthalmological center for proton radiation therapy at the isochronous cyclotron C-80 at PNPI was designed. The requirements to the beam characteristics were defined. Based on a series of calculations, the optimal parameters and composition of the beam line elemenós are determined. It is shown that such a beam line allows one to alternately and efficiently switch from the isotope production mode on the cyclotron to the mode of operation of the center of proton radiation therapy without a fundamental overhaul of the accelerator systems.
