Design of a non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator for charged particle therapy
This thesis describes the design a novel type of particle accelerator for charged particle therapy. The accelerator is called a non-scaling, Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (ns-FFAG) accelerator, and will accelerate both protons and carbon ions to energies required for clinical use. The work is und...
