This report describes the accelerator studies for a future multi-TeV e+e- collider based on Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) technology. The CLIC concept as described in is high gradient normal-conducting accelerating structures where RF power acceleration of colliding beams extracted from high-current Drive Beam that runs parallel with main linac. focus R&D over last years has been addressing set key feasibility issues are essential proving fundamental validity concept. status these and...
The double ratio R of the relative decay rates short- and long-lived neutral kaons into two charged pions was measured to be 0.980±0.004±0.005. deviation from CP violation in transition CP-odd K2 with ϵ′/ϵ=(3.3 ± 1.1)×10−3.
The use of charged-particle radiation therapy (CPRT) is an increasingly important development in the treatment cancer. One most pressing controversies about this technology whether randomised controlled trials are required before form can be considered to choice for a wide range indications. Equipoise key ethical concept determining which research studies justified. However, there good deal disagreement how best understood and applied specific case CPRT. This report position statement on...
The conceptual design for a nonscaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator suitable charged particle therapy (the use of protons and other light ions to treat some forms cancer) is described.
Particle beam radiography, which uses a variety of particle probes (neutrons, protons, electrons, gammas and potentially other particles) to study the structure materials objects noninvasively, is reviewed, largely from an accelerator perspective, although use cosmic rays (mainly muons but also high-energy neutrinos) briefly reviewed. Tomography form radiography multiple views reconstruct three-dimensional density map object. There very wide range applications tomography, medicine...
Most of today's particle accelerators are used in industry or for medical applications, example, radioisotope production and cancer therapy. One important factor these applications is the size accelerator, which ideally should be as small possible. In this respect, fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAGs) can an attractive alternative, combine best features conventional synchrotrons cyclotrons: FFAGs deliver better performance than while retaining flexibility. Of particular interest protons...
A new design principle of a nonscaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator is proposed. It based on optics that produce approximate scaling properties. large index $k$ chosen to squeeze the orbit shift as much possible by setting betatron oscillation frequency in second stability region Hill's equation. Then, lattice magnets and their alignment are simplified. To simplify magnets, we expand profile ${r}^{k}$ into multipoles keep only few lower order terms. rectangular-shaped magnet...
AbstractOver the last twenty years treatment of cancer with protons and light nuclei such as carbon ions has moved from being preserve research laboratories into widespread clinical use. A number choices now exist for creation delivery these particles, key amongst adoption pencil beam scanning using a rotating gantry; attention is given to what technologies will enable cheaper more effective in future. In this article physics engineering used hadron therapy facilities presented, areas likely...
