DESCRIPTION:The use of energetic proton beams for deep seated cancer thera
 py is now well settled and applied in many centres in the world. Since 195
 7\, 43.000 patients have been worldwide treated. In the beginning the medi
 cal treatment were given elementary particles research centres. Little by 
 little this kind of therapy is moving into ad hoc conceived medical centre
 s. The accelerators designed for this use must satisfy some requirements: 
 simple in the use \, if possible\, reduced dimensions and reduced cost. In
  parallel more and more the production of radionuclides for imaging and th
 erapy is increasing. This production is generally made by means of cyclotr
 ons of energy ranging between 10MeV and 30MeV The seminar will illustrate 
 the design of a combined function centre: cancer therapy and the radionucl
 ide production. It is foreseen the sequence of a 30MeV cyclotron followed 
 by a linear post-accelerator which brings the proton beam up to 240MeV. Th
 e LINAC is of the type Side Coupled (SCL). The working principle (linac co
 upled to a cyclotron) has been demonstrated in Laboratori del Sud of’ INF
 N\, where a proton beam has been accelerated from 62MeV up to 74MeV by mea
 ns of an SCL module. A second module\, designed to accelerate protons from
  30 to 35 MeV\, is under construction. Power tests without beam and accele
 ration tests are foreseen on Spring and Fall. A business plan for this cen
 tre has been drawn up.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/1549/
