    Fixed field accelerators for particle therapy
    (Australian Institute of Physics, 2022-12-11) Steinberg, AF; Appleby, R; Sheehy, SL
    Fixed Field Accelerators offer potential advantages for particle therapy, however many challenges remain. We address the problem of resonance crossing during acceleration, showing that beam stability can be maintained by fixing the normalised focusing strength.

    Progress towards a fixed field beamline in Melbourne
    (Australian Institute of Physics, 2022-12-11) Steinberg, AF; Norman, H; Yap, J; Appleby, R; Sheehy, SL
    A design study is ongoing for a fixed field beamline to transport proton beams from 0.5-3.5MeV. Magnet prototyping and particle simulations are underway to demonstrate technologies enabling rapid depth scanning for hadron therapy.

    The southern hemisphere’s first X-band radio-frequency test facility at the University of Melbourne.
    (Australian Institute of Physics, 2022-12-11) Pushkarna, D; Taylor, GN; Volpi, M; Rassool, RP; Dowd, RT; Williams, SD; Sheehy, SL
    The first Southern Hemisphere X-band Laboratory for Accelerators and Beams (X-LAB) is under construction at the University of Melbourne, it will form the basis for developing a compact accelerator for medical applications, such as radiotherapy and compact light sources.
