Abstract

A variant of the proton beam delivery system with an energy of 60 MeV for the future oncological ophthalmological center for proton radiation therapy at the isochronous cyclotron C-80 at PNPI was designed. The requirements to the beam characteristics were defined. On the basis of a series of calculations, the optimal parameters and composition of the beam line elements were determined. It is shown that such a beam line allows one to alternately and efficiently switch from the isotope production mode on the cyclotron to the mode of operation of the center for proton radiation therapy without fundamental overhaul of the accelerator systems.
