Priority:

Status:

Extended

Development of Radiotherapy Methods with a Proton and Heavy Ion Beams of the Nuclotron of JINR.
(Project Med-Nuclotron)

Leaders:

N.N. Agapov
E.A. Krasavin
G.V. Mitsyn
J. Ruzicka

Scientific Programme:
The main goal of the theme is creation of Biomedical technical complex on the base of accelerator of protons and ions of VBLHE and carrying out research program on the field of medical biology and oncology therapy. On the first stage it is considered development of new equipment for ion beam shaping and monitoring.
Research programme on the field of molecular biology besides other topics includes studying of the changes in the structure of genes of both animal and human under heavy ion irradiation with a wide range of linear transfer of energy.

Expected main results :

As a result of proposed Theme we expect to have a beam of protons and heavy ions with energy up to 450 MeV/n delivered to the specially equipped (beam monitors and dosimeter control) place where patient is going to be irradiated.

The goal of this part of the project is to have the all necessary medical and physical equipment ready for treatment the first patient.
The final goal is to have all systems completely ready for irradiation the first patient.

Expected main results in 2008:

Preparation of the plan of medico-biotechnical channel and beam transport equipment distribution in the Experimental Hall of VBLHE JINR.
Preparation of the Technical project of a superconductive accelerator of heavy ions for medical therapy.
Organization of experiments on the Nuclotron JINR to shape Bragg peak with required parameters and beam monitoring equipment tests.
Preparation of technical Project of alignment and fixation system for the patient.
