  After 25 years of successful research in the nuclear and radiation physics domain, the KVI-CART research center in Groningen is upgraded and re-established as the PARticle Therapy REsearch Center (PARTREC). Using the superconducting cyclotron AGOR and being embedded within the University Medical Center Groningen, it operates in close collaboration with the Groningen Proton Therapy Center. PARTREC uniquely combines radiation physics, medical physics, biology and radiotherapy research with an R&D program to improve hadron therapy technology and advanced radiation therapy for cancer. A number of further upgrades, scheduled for completion in 2023, will establish a wide range of irradiation modalities, such as pencil beam scanning, shoot-through with high energy protons and SOBP for protons, helium and carbon ions. Delivery of spatial fractionation (GRID) and dose rates over 300 Gy/s (FLASH) are envisioned. In addition, PARTREC delivers a variety of ion beams and infrastructure for radiation hardness experiments conducted by scientific and commercial communities, and nuclear science research in collaboration with the Faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Groningen.

ATLAS (the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator Sys-tem) is a superconducting heavy ion accelerator which can accelerate nearly all stable, and some unstable, iso-topes between hydrogen and uranium. Prompt radiation fields from gamma and or neutron are typically below 1 rem/hr at 30 cm, but are permitted up to 300 rem/hr at 30 cm. The original ATLAS Radiation Interlock System (ARIS), hereafter referred to as ARIS 1.0 was installed 30 years ago. While it has been a functional critical safe-ty system, its age has exposed the facility to high risk of temporary shutdown due to failure of obsolete compo-nents. Topics discussed will be architecture, hardware improvements, functional improvements, and operation permitting personnel access to areas with low levels of radiation.

TH2I2 Longitudinal Beam Diagnostics R&D at GSI-UNILAC electron, target, detector, diagnostics 144
 
  • R. Singh
    GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
 
  GSI UNILAC provides a wide variety of ion types from energies ranging from 1.4 MeV/u to ~11.5 MeV/u with a large dynamic range in the beam intensities to the experimental users or to the downstream accelerators. This flexibility in beam parameters requires a frequent tuning of the machine parameters for optimal operation of the UNILAC. Therefore, there has been a constant and pressing need for operationally convenient, accurate, fast and potentially non-destructive beam diagnostics for longitudinal charge profile and energy distribution. This contribution discusses the recent progress on longitudinal charge profile distribution measurements at GSI UNILAC. The outcome of recent devices like Fast Faraday cups (FFCs), transition radiation in GHz regime (GTR) is shown in comparison with phase probes or pick-ups. Other past developments aimed at longitudinal diagnostics at UNILAC like single particle detectors and RF deflector type methods are also briefly discussed.
