Alternating-gradient canted cosine theta superconducting magnets for future compact proton gantries

Alternating-gradient canted cosine theta superconducting magnets for future compact proton gantries

We present a design of superconducting magnets, optimized for application in a gantry for proton therapy. We have introduced a new magnet design concept, called an alternating-gradient canted cosine theta (AG-CCT) concept, which is compatible with an achromatic layout. This layout allows a large mom...
