This talk will mainly focus on superconducting cyclotrons from a medical device manufacturer's perspective. First, a short rationale of and an introduction to particle therapy are given. The major requirements for a particle therapy accelerator will be deduced from the treatment process. Based on that a comparison of various accelerator types for the use in an industrial medical device is...

Superconductivity is a quantum phenomenon discovered more than 100 years ago with important implications in our lives even though we do not usually realise it. This exotic phenomenon is able to detect the smallest magnetic fields and generate the largest magnetic fields in the world. In the first case, SQUIDs (superconducting quantum interference devices) were developed as the most sensitive...

Meanwhile LHC is exploring the energy frontier of particle physics, CERN with CIEMAT and other numerous Laboratories and Institutions is developing new technologies for next generation colliders. The High Luminosity LHC is now near construction with Superconducting magnet capable of 12 T field, made with advanced Nb3Sn technology, while for FCC a new R&D phase just started to be able to reach...
