Description
We present a design of the complete proton FLASH radiation therapy facility using the Brag peak. It includes commercially available injector cyclotron (10-30 MeV) with the fixed field alternating (FFA) gradient beam lines, permanent magnet fast-cycling synchrotron accelerator, and a delivery system- an FFA gantry. This facility removes limitations of the present proton cancer therapy facilities allowing FLASH radiation to be performed with 40 Gy/s in 100 ms. This is an extraordinary way to allow FLASH therapy as no magnet adjustments are needed for any proton kinetic energy between 70-250 MeV. The proposal is based on already experimentally proven FFA concept at the Energy Recovery linac 'CBETA' built and commissioned at Cornell University.
