We designed a coil-dominated magnet wound with coated conductors for a spiral sector fixed field alternatinggradient (FFAG) accelerator for carbon cancer therapy. The magnet consisted of deformed pancake coils with negative bends. Coils were arranged like a ladder in order to generate the required radial profile of magnetic field. The positions and the number of the turns of the coils were adjusted iteratively to reduce the magnetic field error. We carried out numerical electromagnetic field analyses of the designed magnet to evaluate the influence of the coated-conductor magnetization (screening or shielding current) on its field quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
