Gantry Design for Proton and Carbon Hadrontherapy Facilities
Using an isocentric gantry improves the effi-

ciency and the flexibility of cancer treatments
with ion beams (hadrontherapy). After an
overview of the constraints imposed to these heavy equipments the gantries constructed for both proton and carbon
ion facilities will be described. Finally, the new studies undertaken to decrease the cost of such equipments will
presented.
Latest Developments on Insertion Devices
A review will be carried out of the develop-
P. Elleaume, J. Chavanne (ESRF)
ments on Insertion Devices that have taken
place world wide in the last few years. These
include the development of long period electro-magnet undulators, the operational results of a number of Apple-
II undulators, the development of superconducting short period multipole wigglers, as well as the construction
and operation of several in-vacuum undulators. The construction of a large number of competitive middle energy
synchrotron sources in the hard X-ray range means that the need to increase the photon energy in the fundamental
peak of an undulator is becoming a very important issue. Two main development strategies are currently being
investigated. One consists of using superconducting undulator technology, the other of a further refinement of the
in-vacuum undulator permanent magnet technology with cryogenic cooling of the magnetic assembly. The issues
and challenges that are part of each approach will be presented, together with the latest results.
