IMPROVEMENTS / MODIFICATIONS
•
Higher intensity
faster treatments
•
cyclotrons: esp. at low energies
•
synchrotrons: more particles per spill (ring filling)
•
Continuous scanning
fast and accurate (µs,%) intensity regulation
cyclotron: same intensity at all energies
synchrotron: fast E-change, less int. noise
SC gantry: 10-100 x faster E-change
•
Reduction of costs
