Flash Therapy is a revolution in cancer cure since it spares healthy tissue from the damage of ionization radiations without decreasing its effectiveness in tumor control. To allow the implementation of the FLASH therapy concept into actual clinical use and treat deep tumors, Very High Electron Energy (VHEE) should be achieved in a range of 50-150 MeV. In the framework of the VHEE project carried out at Sapienza University, in collaboration with INFN, we investigate the main issues in designing a compact C band (5.712 GHz) electron linacs for FLASH Radiotherapy. In this paper, we describe the design strategy, the electromagnetic properties, and the first prototypes of the RF structures to be tested at Sapienza University.

Abstract
Flash Therapy is a revolution in cancer cure since it spares healthy tissue from the damage of ionization radiations without decreasing its effectiveness in tumor control. To allow the implementation of the FLASH therapy concept into actual clinical use and treat deep tumors, Very High Electron Energy (VHEE) should be achieved in a range of 50-150 MeV. In the framework of the VHEE project carried out at Sapienza University, in collaboration with INFN, we investigate the main issues in designing a compact C band (5.712 GHz) electron linacs for FLASH Radiotherapy. In this paper, we describe the design strategy, the electromagnetic properties, and the first prototypes of the RF structures to be tested at Sapienza University.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
