Abstract:
A 3 GHz Side Coupled linac (ACLIP) has been
designed to accelerate the proton energy of a 30 MeV
commercial cyclotron up to 240 MeV, needed for deep
protontherapy (PT). The first module of the linac, able to
accelerate proton from 30 to 35 MeV has been
constructed and is now on the way to being brazed. An
agreement has been set up with e2v (Chelmsford, UK) in
order to carry out high power testing with a 4 MW
magnetron/modulator. Acceleration tests will then be
performed at LNS-Catania using the 30 MeV proton
beam from the Superconducting Cyclotron. The second
module, which is currently under construction, will be
placed downstream from the first one and driven by a
second e2v magnetron/modulator to investigate the
magnetron phase locking possibilities.
