The ALS-U project will upgrade the existing Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Berkeley Lab to deliver diffraction limited photon beam performance and aims to increase the beam brightness by two orders of magnitude for soft x-rays compared to the current ALS facility. The storage ring design utilizes a nine-bend achromat lattice with reverse bending magnets and on-axis swap-out injection from an...
The IsoDAR cyclotron design, for a neutrino experiment at YEMILAB, Korea, produces $60\,$MeV protons with a beam current of $10\,$mA. This is an order of magnitude larger than that from conventional machines and will be a game changer for medical isotope production.
This is achieved through three innovations: use of $\rm H_{2}^{+}$ as the accelerated particle, deploying an RFQ in place of...
In April 2019 a meeting was held in Birmingham to discuss a future Ion Therapy Research Facility (ITRF). This meeting brought together a multidisciplinary audience including clinicians, clinical scientists, and academic scientists and engineers from across the life and physical sciences. Policy makers and funders also attended the meeting. The meeting agreed a consensus document and roadmap...
