Experimental verification of therapeutic doses for the superficially-placed tumor radiotherapy with heavy ions at HIRFL

Up to now, clinical trials of heavy-ion radiotherapy for superficially placed tumors have been carried out for six times and over 60 selected patients have been treated with 80—100 MeV/u carbon ions supplied by the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL) at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences since November, 2006. A passive irradiation system and a dose optimization method for radiotherapy with carbon-ion beams have been developed. Experimental verification of longitudinally ...

RF system design and measurement of HIRFL-CSRe

An RF system for the CSRe (cooling storage experimental ring) is designed and manufactured domestically. The present paper mainly describes the RF system design in five main sections: ferrite ring, RF cavity, RF generator, low level system and cavity cooling. The cavity is based on a type of coaxial resonator which is shorted at the end with one gap and loaded with domestic ferrite rings. The RF generator is designed in the push-pull mode and the low level control system is based on a DSP+FGPA+DDS+USB inter...

HIRFL-CSR commissioning in 2006 and 2007

HIRFL-CSR, a new heavy ion cooler-storage-ring system at IMP, had been in commissioning since the beginning of 2006. In the two years of 2006 and 2007 the CSR commissioning was finished, including the stripping injection (STI), electron-cooling with hollow electron beam, C-beam stacking with the combination of STI and e-cooling, the wide energy-range synchrotron ramping from 7 MeV/u to 1000 MeV/u by changing the RF harmonic-number at mid-energy, the multiple multi-turn injection (MMI), the beam accumulation with MMI and e-cooling for heavy-ion beams of Ar, Kr and Xe, the fast extraction from CSRm and single-turn injection to CSRe, beam stacking in CSRe and the RIBs mass-spectrometer test with the isochronous mode in CSRe by using the time-of-flight method.

Research for HIRFL new improvement project

According to the newest matching mode between the two cyclotrons at HIRFL, the beam obit properties were researched, especially for the harm of existing ‘over-magnetic shim’ in SSC as well as the trajectory in the new mode. The results obtained are encouraging.

HIRFL-CSR频谱现象：中心频率突变分析研究

In commissioning the HIRFL-CSR (Cooler Storage Ring of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou),with the spectrum analyzer monitoring the beams on-line, we measured many parameters of the beam status for improving quality of the heavy ion beams. In this paper, the sudden change of the beam center frequency is analyzed.A theoretical analysis is done mainly on instabilities of the electron voltage and the neutralization factor. Simulations were made for the problem. According to the simulation result, we can conclude that it is the instability of neutralization factor that caused the problem. 中文摘要：HIRFL-CSR调试过程中，利用频谱分析仪实时监测束流，根据其上测的数据进行相关参数调整，改善束流的品质。本文对分析仪上观测到的现象一束流的中心频率发生突变进行了研究，主要就电子束的高压不稳定性和中性化因子的突变做了理论分析，并进行了相关的模拟计算 ，根据模拟结果初步断定该现象的出现由电子束的中性化因子导致。
