1 First operational experiences with the SC cyclotron, degrader and beam lines at PSI s new proton therapy center Marco Schippers, Jürgen Duppich, Gudrun Goitein, Eugen Hug, Martin Jermann, Eros Pedroni, for the PROSCAN team (>50 persons) Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,

2 PROSCAN: Stand-alone facility at PSI January-June 2007 Cyclotron Experiment OPTIS-2 Degrader Med. Pavillon Gantry-2 Energy selection Gantry-1 10 m Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,

3 250 MeV SC-cyclotron Delivered by ACCEL an intensive collaboration Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,

4 Acceptance tests and commissioning of cyclotron and beam lines Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,

5 Levels of Quality Assurance of cyclotron Measurements for information & reference, not specified e.g.: field maps Acceptance of subsystems (factory acceptance by ACCEL) e.g.: coil-winding vacuum Acceptance tests (37) defined by PSI acceptance measurements e.g.: beam quality nr. of beam interruptions access to components / exchange time acceptance checks e.g.: documentation Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,

6 Reliability: beam interruptions nr of interrupts unscheduled interrupts, automatic restart, 10 hour test Result: No beam during 3.0 minutes (spec: <6 min=1%), nr longer than 10 sec = 2 (spec: < 5) interrupt length (sec) Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,

7 Beam on/off and stability Vertical deflector in cycl. Center -beam on/off Necessary for fast dynamic scanning (Gantry-2) Acceptance tests: repetition rate 1 khz beam off < 50 μsec intensity stability σ<5% (for Gantry-1 and München: ) Beam intensity On/off by means of Vertical deflector in center time (ms) 40 μs ms Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,

8 Intensity stabilization: first results Intensity Arc current => emittance Beam from cold cathode source Intensity position Output fluctuations => Emittance fluctuations Arc current => intensity spread phase space selection by apertures σ=20% σ=40% Intensity position σ=6% proper phase space selection => intensity spread position Next step: -deal with high power in center of cyclotron Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,

9 >80% extraction efficiency: Low dose to service staff 24 h after beam off, August 2006 (extr. beam int: 6 μa.h) : inside cyclotron on pole, closed cap: mid plane, open pole cap: degrader un/shielded: 230 μsv/h 88 μsv/h 235 / 10 μsv/h (no dramatic increase observed since) above unshielded degrader next to shielded degrader Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,

10 Beam-energy adjustment Degrader unit Q Q Q Steerer Kicker dispersive focus; position E-error Carbon wedge degrader MeV 5 mm ΔRange in 50 ms Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,

11 Energy scanning, Estep ~5 mm range in water. Current in Dipole Degrader Beam energy error 50 ms Marco Schippers, PTCOG Wanjie May 21-23,
