PART ONE Superconducting devices in medicine Super Gantry 1. Superconductivity 2. Why we need SuperGantry? 3. Superconducting Gantry 4. Cooling 5. Conventional vs. superconducting guntry 6. Fears and hopes towards SuperGuntry

Supercondactivity Superconductors are materials, which have the zero resistance at properly low temperature and special parameters, for example Meissner effect.

a device - sometimes huge - for rotating a radiotherapy Gantry beam and delivery apparatus her around the patient , to treat a cancer from different angles.

Why we need SuperGantry? To destruction of the cancer cells by the radiation. p + γ e - C n 0

Path of beam

Gantry Isocentric (a) and exocentric (b) gantry

Superconducting gantry 1, 2, 3 - dipole magnets 4 - focusing magnet 5 - scanning magnet 6 - sealing of helium tubes 7 - sealing of vacuum tube 8 - electric sliding connection 9 - electric sliding connection of cold head valves 10 - frame of gantry 11 - support of frame wheels

Cryocooler system with the compressor – cooling magnets Cooling to cryogenics temperatures - magnets are not swimming in liquid cooling. Obrazek 

Conventional vs. superconducting Ok. 40 ton vs. ok 4 tony Parametr Conventional Superconducting weight about 400 tons about 200 tons length about 15 meters about 10 meters radius about 7 meters about 5 meters magnatic field about 1,5 T about 3 T

Fears and hopes towards SuperGuntry Fears Hopes • more • smaller sizes complicated • lightest construction • larger magnetic • price fields

PART TWO Superconducting magneting shields 1.Property of superconductors 2.Why we shields the magntic field? 3.Why superconducting shields? 4.Types of superconducting shields 5.Applications 6.Technology

Property Maissner effect

Why we shields the magnetic field? • Malfunctioning of electronical equipment. • Neurobehavioral changes in behavior. Limit of safe magnetic field: B max : 0,08mT for 50Hz 3mT for 0-0,5Hz

Why superconducting shields?

Why superconducting shields? Mass of whole shiend for Gantri (7,5m): 20t

Why superconducting shields? Mass of whole shield for Gantri: shield 7cm – 8,5t Cost of superconductivity shield: 115 000 $ shield 4cm – 4,7t

Unclosed shields Magnetic field homogeneity Δ B/B: 1e-05

Electron Cooling System (ECS) for NICA
