摘要
Due to the unique "ragg peak" dose-distribution characteristics of proton beams, the proton therapy (PT) is recognized as one of the most precise and effective radiotherapy methods for tumors. A gantry is required to project the beam onto a tumor at various angles for multiple-field irradiation, and a superconducting beamline can significantly reduce the size and weight of the gantry. A PT system is under development at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), and this paper presents a comparison study of the beam optics and related design considerations for normal conducting and superconducting gantry beamlines.
