LiNSTAR™ - Synchrotron Injector Linac Systems


       Several AccSys LiNSTAR™ systems are currently in use as injector linacs at a number of proton synchrotron facilities for cancer therapy and physics research. These compact systems can be configured to accelerate either H+ or H- beams, including polarized beams. Stable operation has been shown for a wide range of beam currents, pulse widths and repetition rates. One recently delivered system features beam pulses available on demand at repetition rates as low as 0.1 Hz. Standard LiNSTAR™ systems are available at output beam energies from 2 to 7 MeV. Higher injection energies are available as custom linac systems.

      The LiNSTAR™ series of proton linac systems are designed to provide moderate-energy proton beams (typically from 2 to 7 MeV) for injection into high energy proton synchrotrons that are used for proton beam cancer therapy or physics research. These fully integrated systems typically consist of a carefully designed and selected combination of a radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) linac, a drift tube linac (DTL) for injection energies of >3 MeV, AccSys' standard rf power system, a high energy beam transport system tailored to the specific requirements of the facility and an optional debuncher cavity. They can accelerate either H+ or H- ion beams and are also available for polarized H+ or H- beams. Standard LiNSTAR™ units can provide pulsed beam currents up to 25 mA at pulse widths from 3 to 300 µsec. Operation at pulse repetition rates from 0.1 to 30 pulses per second have been demonstrated, including on-demand pulsing for breath-mode synchronization in proton cancer therapy.
