Linac booster for high energy proton therapy and imaging

For an optimal exploitation of the benefits of proton therapy the most accurate dose delivery system should be used. The TERA Foundation has extensive experience in the field of high gradient high frequency linacs. This paper describes a particular design of a 3 GHz linac boosting the typical cyclot...
