Project MedAustron
• 1996-2000: PIMMS (proton and ion medical machine study)• TERA, MedAustron, Oncology2000 led by CERN
• 2000-2004: MedAustron feasibility study in Austria
• 2007 Decision to finance project by Austrian Government• Government of Lower Austria (warranty for € 120 Mio.)
owning EBG MedAustron
• Federal Government of Austria (€ 41 Mio.)• City of Wr. Neustadt (building site)
• April 2007: Foundation of EBG MedAustron GmbH• EBG MedAustron constructs and operates the centre
• Design optimized for flexibility and requirements of users • Single component tendering (no turn-key solution)

to irradiationrooms
Main Parameters – Machine and Beam
• Ion species: protons and carbon ions• Optionally and at a later stage other ions with q/m≥1/3 are possible
• Intensities in irradiation room• Protons: max. 1*1010 /spill
• Carbon ions: max. 0.4*109 /spill
• Tcycle ≥ 1 s, Tspill ≥ 0.1 s
• Energy range• Proton: 60-250 MeV (medical)
• Higher proton energy provided for experimental physics: <800 MeV
• Maximum limited to 800 MeV for technical effort reasons: avoid transition crossing (at about 900 MeV proton equivalent); limit of beam rigidity at about 1.2 GeV proton equivalent
• Carbon: 120-400 MeV/n

Experimental Physics applications
MedAustron is not a competitor with European high intensity facilities.
• Development and test of particle counters• Preparation for test beams at high-intensity facilities with limited time slots
• Proton scattering facility• Proton Computerized Tomography
at 800 MeV• Education and Training• Other applications
• radiation damage, dosimetry, ion microprobe
