DEVICE FOR IRRADIATION OF A TARGET BY A BEAM OF CHARGED HADRONS, APPLICATION TO HADRONTHERAPY

摘要

The assembly to irradiate a target (12) with a beam charged with hadrons, and especially a human body zone, has a number of corpuscular optical units (14,16,18,20) to unify the lateral density of the hadron-charged beam, on at least one direction at right angles to the beam trajectory. Three-dimensional controls (6,22,24) set the irradiation of the target by the hadron-charged beam. The beam with hadrons is generated by a cyclotron.
