A new proton beam-line dedicated to RD programs has been developed at CentreAntoine Lacassagne (CAL), in Nice (France), in collaboration with the Centrenational d'études spatiales (CNES). This is the second beam-line of the MEDICYC 65 MeV cyclotron that is currently in operation, the first being the clinical 'eye-line' used for ocular proton therapy. The RD beam-line is proposed with two configurations, the first producing a Gaussian narrow beam of a few mm width, the second a 100 mm diameter flat beam with a homogeneity better than ±3%. The energy range is (20 - ∼60) MeV, where the exact upper limit depends on the beam configuration being used. The energy spread of the non-degraded beam is (0.3 ± 0.1) MeV. A beam current between 10 pA and 10 μA can be produced with a stability better than 0.2% above 100 pA, and 2% below. The beam can be monitored online at a precision better than 5% in the flux range 1E5 (1E6) - 1E9 (1E10) p/cm |
