Description
A 230 MeV superconducting cyclotron SC230 is currently the most compact isochronous cyclotron for proton therapy, with a yoke diameter, height and weight of 2.8 m, 1.7 m and 65 t, respectively. It has cryogen-free superconducting coils to generate a high magnetic field. It also features a high beam current of up to 1 μA and low power consumption of its system below 200 kW. The development process and superconducting technology in SC230 are reported.
