Background technique
Since proton beam and heavy ion beam have the depth-dose distribution reversed to the irradiation of organism, lesser lateral dissipates
It penetrates, higher relative biological effectiveness and the features such as low oxygen enhancement ratio, so that proton and heavy-ion cancer therapy become current international
Upper advanced effective cancer radiation therapy method.Proton beam and heavy ion beam can also simulate the radiation environment of the outer space, be to use
To carry out the effective ways of space flight single particle effect and the anti-radiation detection of instrument.Proton and heavy ion can be used in the life of nucleopore membranes
It produces, for fields such as biological agent separation, battery diaphragm, anti-fake materials.Proton and heavy ion still carry out special material irradiation,
The powerful measure of the applications such as ion implantation can also be applied to nuclear physics, Atomic Physics experimental study etc..
Current mainstream heavy ion, proton precessional magnetometer are divided into three classes, are linear accelerator respectively, cyclotron and same
Walk accelerator.Continuous line can be provided using linear accelerator, but cost is much higher than other two kinds of accelerators and energy
Can not almost it change, it is general only to be used in low energy region.Cyclotron can provide continuous line, but be difficult to change and draw energy
Amount, and high-energy cyclotron difficulty of processing and cost sharply increase, and generally also only use in low energy region.Conventional synchronization
Accelerator can rapidly convert the energy of educt beaming flow according to the needs of terminal, and it is the energy that middle high-energy section cost performance is high
The free-stream acceleration device of section.The main problem of current this synchrotron be due to its magnetic field raising and lowering it is time-consuming it is more with
And slow spill process is time-consuming more and cause educt beaming flow mean flow lower by force.
Conventional synchronization accelerator driven sub-critical system will be directly loaded on magnet after the conversion of power grid electric energy, be limited to distribution cost, and one
As main field with 1T/s or less even 0.5T/s velocity variations below, synchrotron is most of within a cycle of operation
Time is used for the raising and lowering in magnetic field, and educt beaming flow duty ratio is low.Such as the treatment of cancer device HIMM of Wuwei City of Gansu Province,
One cycle of operation needs 7.5 seconds, wherein drawing the time slowly only has 3 seconds, residue is used to the raising and lowering in magnetic field for 4.5 seconds,
Efficiency is lower.Power need to be extracted in the uphill process of magnetic field from power grid simultaneously, need to return to power to power grid during decline, cause
Power network fluctuation influences the normal operation of other equipment.
In addition, traditional technology is will to accelerate to mesh in synchrotron in order to obtain uniform dosage distribution in terminal
The line for marking energy is drawn by slow lead-out process multi-turn slowly, becomes temporal quasi-continuous beam, before incoming terminal, warp
Two pole iron of scanning effect horizontally and vertically is crossed, it will be in line scanning a to rectangular area.Two block scan magnet
Electric current be sine wave or tooth form wave, the common multiple of frequency is as big as possible, to guarantee that the line of terminal is evenly distributed.Slowly it drew
Journey is time-consuming more, and by taking the treatment of cancer device HIMM of Wuwei City of Gansu Province as an example, the slow spill process duration is 3s, that is, 3s
The ion that interior terminal is only once accelerated, therefore its inefficiency, the mean flow of line be much smaller than by force linear accelerator and
Cyclotron.
