Structural Optimization of the AISHa Ion Source
Published in 2014
Different facilities for hadrontherapy have been built in the recent past.
AISHa ion source has been designed by keeping in mind the typical requirements of hospital-based facilities, where the minimization of the mean time between failures (MTBF) is a key point together with the maintenance operations which should be fast and easy. The study of some critical parts of the facilities: the plasma chamber, the containment chamber, etc. have been optimized with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software.
In conclusion we have studied in particular the plasma chamber under certain conditions imposed: the room needs to be cooled by water, which flows in a given path to achieve, through an entrance and septa.
