• Motivation– Cancer treatment– The situation in the UK
• PAMELA– General concept
• Development status and technological challenges– Main accelerator magnets: Helical Coils– Extraction
• Summary

Incidence of Cancer in the UK
• 12.5% probability, all types (except skin cancer) by 65– Rises to more than 1/3rd for whole-life– Around half are associated with specific risks

Motivation• Radiation treatment is very
effective– [Statistics show that of those
cured...] “49% are cured by surgery,
– 40% by radiotherapy and – 11% by chemotherapy”.
The Royal College of Radiologists, BFCO(03)3, (2003).
• Cancer treatment– In 40-50% of all cases
radiotherapy is part of the treatment plan
• Motivation for protons and light ions: most of energy deposited in Bragg peak

Working Point and Tunes• Working point
– Choose high k to minimize orbit excursion
– Reasonably far away from instability region
• Total machine tune variation (cell tune variation*12):– νx within 0.1
– νy within 0.24– Well within an integer!
• Beam blow up– Linear lattice: Amplification factor
360– Non-linear lattice: 7.6– (A = orbit distortion [mm] / 1σ
alignment error [mm])• Achievable alignment

octupole• Challenges
– Maximum field (4.25T)– Required bore (>250 mm)– Length restriction– High k
• Approach: Double-helix coils– Known since the 70s

Double-Helix Coils• Vertical field as
expected• Horizontal field
perturbed• Why?
– Helical coil: solenoidal field + useful field
– Solenoidal field should cancel out
– Stray field: uncompensated solenoidal field
![Page 28: PAMELA – A Novel Accelerator for Charged Particle Therapy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681690f550346895de02644/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Solenoidal Field• Solenoids
– B depends on current (fixed) and radius
• Radius for coils is never the same– Always small
difference in field
• Quadruple helix– Allows
compensation

Helical Coil vs. Classical Designs• Consider classical dipole • Two main differences
– Automatically more sections• More cross-sectional area
covered– Not blocks of constant
current density• Effect
– Better field quality– Less steep gradients of
vector potential– Lower magnetic field on wire

Summary and Outlook• PAMELA
– Exciting project to introduce CPT to the UK• R&D
– Many issues have been solved (on paper...)• Lattice, RF, injector and kicker magnets
– Magnets• Helical coils are fascinating alternative
– Very good field quality, better performance• Very flexible
• Ongoing work– Gantry– Transport line– 4T septum
• PAMELA is not the only interesting development– RCS, Cyclinacs, IBA C400, Still River, ...– Future should be very exciting!
