Area of Science:

  • Medical physics
  • Particle accelerator technology
  • Radiation research

Background:

  • The Centre Antoine Lacassagne (CAL) operates the MEDICYC 65 MeV cyclotron.
  • A clinical beam-line for ocular proton therapy is already in use.
  • There was a need for a dedicated beam-line for research and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a new proton beam-line for R&D programs.
  • To offer versatile beam configurations for various research applications.
  • To support instrumentation research, component radiation tolerance testing, and radiobiology.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a second beam-line at the MEDICYC cyclotron.
  • Implementation of two distinct beam configurations: Gaussian narrow beam and a 100 mm diameter flat beam.
  • Characterization of beam properties including energy range, energy spread, current, stability, and online monitoring capabilities.

Main Results:

  • The R&D beam-line offers an energy range of (20 - ~60) MeV.
  • Two configurations provide a narrow Gaussian beam and a flat beam with <±3% homogeneity.
  • Stable beam currents (10 pA - 10 μA) and precise online monitoring (better than 5%) were achieved.

Conclusions:

  • The new R&D proton beam-line at CAL is operational and versatile.
  • It provides well-characterized beams suitable for advanced research.
  • The facility supports critical R&D in instrumentation, radiation effects, and radiobiology.
