Normal-conducting scaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator for proton therapy

In this paper we present a new lattice design for a 30–350 MeV scaling fixed-field alternating gradient accelerator for proton therapy and tomography—NORMA (NOrmal-conducting Racetrack Medical Accelerator). The energy range allows the realization of proton computed tomography and utilizes normal con...
