description | Curved superconducting bending magnets have clear potential for compact hadron therapy gantries and medical synchrotrons. A combined function superconducting bending magnet design based on collared cos-theta coils is proposed for a new compact and cost-effective hadron therapy gantry initiative. This 3 T magnet, based on the technologies extensively developed for the LHC project, includes several gantry-specific features that shall be developed and validated with a demonstrator magnet. The main development areas include fabrication of epoxy-impregnated cos-theta Nb-Ti coils with 2.2 m radius of curvature along with the assembly of the surrounding curved cold mass. This paper presents the magnetic and mechanical design optimization of the proposed demonstrator magnet, the results of the numerical modelling of the transient losses during operation as well as the magnet quench protection analysis. |
