Analysis of a Novel Toroidal Configuration for Hadron Therapy Gantries

Enrico Felcini

Hadron therapy refers to a medical treatment that uses hadron beams (i.e. protons and ions) to deliver localized energy that suppresses cancerous cells, sparing the neighbouring healthy tissues from unwanted radiation. The major technical components of a h ...
