Description
In 2005, IBA started studies and developments of superconducting cyclotrons for medical applications. In this communication, we will present a summary of the history and characteristics of the two main superconducting IBA cyclotrons for particle therapy, namely the Cyclone 400 for proton/carbon therapy and the S2C2 dedicated to proton therapy, with a particular emphasis on their superconducting coil systems.
In the conclusions, we will discuss how IBA sees a trend in the use of superconductivity in therapy equipment.
