Abstract
The project ICH15 aims for the design of a heavy-ion facility capable of accelerating protons up to an energy of 70 MeV and 5 MeV/u heavy-ions with A/Q = 3. The objective is to simultaneously produce radioisotopes and deliver a low energy proton beam for cancer therapy (uveal tumour). In this contribution we present an overview of the project, including a selection of medical-physics goals and technical developments: beam dynamics calculation, electromagnetic and thermo-mechanical analysis, the control system and the irradiation facilities. Studies have been carried put with Comsol Multiphysics (Comsol multiphysics 5.3. http://www.comsol.com/products/multiphysics/ [1]) and Global Tracer Particle (General particle tracer. http://www.pulsar.nl/gpt/ [2]).
