Development of Linear Accelerating Structures for Ion Injection into a Cancer Therapy Synchrotron and Parallel Production of Radioisotopes
Doctoral Thesis
Description
This Thesis presents the design and optimisation of a Quasi-Alvarez Drift Tube Linac (QA-DTL) for accelerating helium and carbon ions for medical applications. The proposed linac combines high acceleration efficiency, improved beam dynamics, and versatility, enabling use as a synchrotron injector and for radioisotope production. Its dual-purpose operation offers a cost-effective solution for future particle therapy facilities, supporting both advanced cancer treatment and the production of radioisotopes for medical diagnostics and therapy.
