Survey & Alignment Aspects of Medical Accelerator Developments
Paper
Wuwei heavy ion medical machine is the most compact heavy ion accelerator cancer treatment device in the world. The perimeter of the synchronous ring is as small as 56.1m, and the height difference between the high energy line climbing section of the device is about 19m, which is the height difference in the domestic accelerator. The device with the largest span spans tens of thousands of...

Abstract
The use of Protons to treat cancer tumours was first proposed by R R Wilson in 1946 [1], the first experimental treatments were done at Berkeley and Uppsala in the 1950’s and Massachusetts General Hospital in 1961. Over the past 50 year some 50 clinics are now in operation worldwide. All clinics use cyclotrons or synchrotrons to produce protons or other heavy ions. The facilities...

Survey & Alignment Aspects of Medical Accelerator Developments
Paper
The Mu2e experiment is a physics experiment at Fermilab. It will probe a fundamental symmetry of the Standard Model with the potential to probe physics well beyond the reach of collider experiments such as the LHC. The experiment mainly consists of several large volume, high magnetic field, solenoids: the Production Solenoid, Upstream and Downstream Transport Solenoids, and the Detector...
