  1. RF structure design KT high-gradient medical project kick-off 30.05.2013 Alberto Degiovanni TERA Foundation - EPFL

  2. Outline • Introduction • RF cavities constraints for hadrontherapy • Backward travelling wave cell design and optimization for high gradient operations • Nose cone study • Tapering • Comparison of different structure designs • SW SCL design • backward TW • Preliminary studies for linac design • Conclusions A. Degiovanni

  3. Linac layout and BDR requirements • Quasi-periodic PMQ FODO lattice sets a limit to the length of each structure and determines the group velocity range. • The cells in each structure (tank) have the same length, while from one tank to the next, the cell length increases: β tapering in the range 0.22-0.60 • Trade-off between transverse acceptance and RF efficiency: bore aperture = 5 mm • Max BDR: 1 BD per treatment session (~ 5 min) on the whole linac length (~ 10 m).  BDR ~ 10-6 bpp/m ...
