Design Study of a Superconducting Gantry for Carbon Beam Therapy

open access: yes, 2016
This paper describes the design study of a gantry for a carbon beam. The designed gantry is compact such that its size is comparable to the size of the proton gantry. This is possible by introducing superconducting double helical coils for dipole magnets.
