Description
Non-scaling FFAG rings for cancer hadron therapy offer reduced
physical aperture and large dynamic aperture as compared with
scaling FFAGs. We consider a system of three non-scaling FFAG
rings for cancer therapy with 250 MeV protons and 400 MeV/u
carbon
ions. Hadrons are accelerated in a common RFQ and linear
accelerator, and injected into the FFAG rings at v/c=0.1294.
H+ and C6+ ions are accelerated in the two smaller/larger
rings to
31 and 250 MeV/68.8 and 400 MeV/u kinetic energy,
respectively. The
lattices consist of doublet cells with a straight section for rf
cavities. The frequency modulated rf system operates at
frequencies between about 8
and 25 MHz.
