Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device intended to allow the variation of the energy of a beam of particles extracted from a particle accelerator.
- the present invention also relates to the use of such a device.
- a solution consists in using an accelerator capable of producing, intrinsically, an extracted beam of particles whose energy is variable.
- an accelerator such as a synchrotron capable of producing within this accelerator a beam of particles whose energy is variable.
- this type of accelerator is relatively complex to produce, and therefore more expensive and less reliable than accelerators. of particles producing fixed energy beams like cyclotrons.
- the present invention aims to propose a device which would make it possible to vary the energy of the beam extracted from a particle accelerator, in particular from a fixed energy particle accelerator, while maintaining the energy dispersion characteristics and the qualities beam optics.
- the present invention aims more particularly to propose a device which would allow to vary the energy of a beam extracted from a particle accelerator almost continuously.
- the present invention relates to a method and a device intended to allow the variation of the energy of a beam of particles extracted from a particle accelerator with fixed energy.
- an energy degrader essentially consisting of a block of material whose thickness is variable in discrete steps.
- the thickness is defined as the distance between the entry face and the exit face on the block of material.
- the spacing in energy of the steps is variable and is determined so that the variation of the intensity of the beam reaches at the border between two consecutive steps a maximum of 15%, typically 10%, of the maximum intensity obtained at the exit. of each of the two successive steps considered. This makes it possible to obtain a continuous variation of the energy despite the fact that the thickness varies in a discrete manner. Indeed, this is due to the combination of the way of calculating the energy spacing between the steps with the association of an element of analysis.
- this degrader is positioned at the place where the bundle envelope has a constriction ("waist'M
- the curvature of the inlet and outlet faces of the degrader defined by the height steps or not discrete, is drawn so that the "waist" always occupies for each step or not the ideal position relative to the entry and exit faces without the need to change from one step to the other the adjustment parameters of beam transport and in particular the position of the waist.
- the energy degrader has steps or not of variable width, the width of a step being defined as the distance between two successive steps.
- This width must be adjusted so as to be slightly larger than the diameter of the beam at the entrance or at the exit of the degrader, which means that the width of said steps or not of great thickness will be greater than the width of said steps or no thin.
- the material constituting the energy degrader must have a high density and a low atomic mass.
- Examples may be diamond, agglomerated diamond powder or graphite.
- the degrader is mounted on an automated wheel which also includes beam diagnostic elements such as beam profile monitors, beam stops, etc. Conventionally, it is also possible to associate this energy degrader with an analysis magnet.
- Figures la and lb represent respectively a perspective view and a top view of an energy degrader used in the energy variation method of a particle beam according to the present invention, while the figure represents an enlargement of part of figure lb.
- FIG. 2 represents the variation of the current density as a function of the energy for a beam of protons.
- FIG. 3 represents an overall view of the device according to the present invention used in proton therapy.
- Figures la and lb show a degrader used in the device according to the present invention, consisting essentially of a block of material whose thickness is variable in steps discreetly.
- This energy degrader will make it possible to roughly determine the value of the desired energy.
- an energy magnet located downstream of the latter will be added to this energy degrader in order to allow a finer adjustment of the value of the desired energy.
- the energy degrader according to the invention has a "staircase" shape, for which each step or "step” has a different thickness corresponding to a determined energy variation, the thickness El + E2 being defined as the distance between the entry face and the exit face of the particle beam.
- the width L of the successive steps is also variable, and is increasing as a function of the thickness of said steps.
- the third parameter is the height H from one step or step to another.
- This block of variable thickness is preferably presented in the form of a ring placed on a wheel. This makes it possible to get rid of the discrete character of the degrader while maintaining a parallelism of the faces input and output of said degrader, which minimizes the energy dispersion of the beam.
- the energy dispersion which results from it is expressed, at the exit of the block of material, by an energy spectrum of Gaussian form, characterizing the variation of the density of the current ( In value represented in FIG. 2, for the "walk” n) as a function of the energy.
- This Gaussian is centered in an energy value (value En represented in Figure 2, for the "walk” n) which corresponds to the initial energy minus the amount of energy lost in the material, such as the it can be calculated using the route tables (called “range table”).
- the pitch of the variation in energy is determined in such a way that the decrease in intensity of the beam reaches a maximum of x% (typically 10%) at the edges of each step.
- x% typically 10%
- the imposition of this constraint makes it possible to calculate the upper limit in energy Es for a given step, which is also at the lower limit in energy for the following step ( Figure 2).
- An iterative calculation thus defines the number of "steps" necessary to obtain a continuous variation of the energy between the maximum values (that of the beam extracted from the accelerator) and minimum (the lowest energy that will be used in the framework of the application in question)
- a variation in energy is obtained continuously in having, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, an analysis magnet downstream of the degrader, this despite the fact that the thickness of the degrader varies in discrete steps.
- the principle is that, because of the large energy dispersion associated with the "straggling", the degrader will only define the energy in a rough way, the fine adjustment being done downstream, using the magnet analysis.
- the degrader of variable thickness will be located exactly at the place where the envelope of the beam shows a constriction (c ' that is to say the place where the beam has the smallest spatial extension, place called the "waist").
- the beam must therefore be focused in the degrader, and each part of variable thickness of the degrader, that is to say each "step" corresponding to a given energy decrease, is located in a place such that the distance between the entry face of the step and the place of focus of the beam (i.e. the waist) corresponds exactly to the distance which minimizes the emittance of exit of the beam as calculated by the transport equations and diffusion theory.
- An important aspect of the present invention is therefore that the beam optics, and in particular the position of the waist, are not modified as a function of the variation in energy which it is desired to produce. Thanks to the appropriate curvature of the entry and exit faces (ie thanks to the shape of the entry and exit "stairs"), the waist remains static in space and occupies always, for each step, the ideal position relative to the entry and exit faces of the step.
- the degrader is composed of a material of very low atomic mass and of high density to reduce the effects of multiple scattering.
- This wheel is automated and remotely controlled so as to place, on the path of the incident beam, the part of the degrader (the "step") whose thickness corresponds to the loss of energy that one wishes to cause.
- FIG. 3 represents a diagram of the device for its use in proton therapy. It has been dimensioned so as to allow the continuous variation, in the range 70 MeV - 230 MeV, of the energy of a beam of protons of fixed energy (approximately 230 MeV) produced by a cyclotron.
- the device comprises the degrader 1 mounted on an automated wheel and made of graphite. It consists of 154 "steps". Also found on this wheel are elements for controlling the characteristics of the beam such as beam profile monitors 4 as well as beam stops 3.
- the assembly also includes the frame 6, correction magnets (5, "steering ”) and power cables 2 in addition to a few connectors.
