Proton-Ion Beam Therapy Facility at IHEP

Vast clinical radiotherapy experience has proved that proton and especially carbon ion beams are the most effective way for cancer treatment. The parameters if IHEP proton buster synchrotron are very close to the ones optimal for proton-carbon ion beam therapy. proton beam intensity available in present time is substantially more than needed for medical pur-poses. A modified 100 MeV linac will be used for carbon ions injection to buster synchrotron. Proton and carbon ion beams extracted from buster will then be accumulated in the U-70 synchrotron, that will be use as a storage ring. The beam from the U-70 can be extracted to numerous medical treatment areas placed in one of the experimental halls. In this report the parameters of modernized accelerator complex and present status of works in this direction are presented.
