Abstract

The extraction of an accelerated beam from C235 cyclotron (IBA, Belgium) for proton therapy is simulated. The results of optimizing the parameters of the extraction system to increase the beam extraction efficiency are presented. Our theoretical results agree well with the experimental data. A new configuration of electrostatic deflector is proposed based on the numerical results; using this configuration essentially increases the efficiency of the cyclotron extraction system.
