Abstract

Approximately one third of the world’s 15000
accelerators are used for tumour therapy and other
medical applications [1]. The characteristics of FFAGs
make them ideally suited to such applications, as the
much smaller magnet size and greater compactness offers
considerable cost and operational benefits. In the first
stage the work on PAMELA will focus on the
optimization of the FFAG design to deliver the specific
machine parameters demanded by therapy applications. In
this phase of the PAMELA project the effort will
concentrate on the design of a semi-scaling type FFAGs
to deliver a 450 MeV/u carbon ion beam, including
detailed lattice and tracking studies. The second stage will
use the existing expertise in the BASROC consortium [2]
to undertake a design of the magnets and RF system for
PAMELA. An outline of the overall concept of PAMELA
will be discussed and the actual status of the work will be
presented.
