On 20 September 2023, at 4:00 PM, the Association of Young Scientists and Specialists at JINR invites everyone interested to the next seminar that will take place in the Big Hall of the JINR Scientists’ Club (6, Joliot-Curie street, left side).

Semion Gurskiy, a researcher at DLNP JINR, will make a report “On proton therapy, cyclotron, and its high-frequency system”

Proton therapy is widely used in the clinical practice of treating oncological diseases of various localisations. It is one of the most effective directions in radiation therapy. About fifty thousand patients a year need such treatment in Russia. Most of the installed proton therapy systems use isochronous cyclotrons. It is considered that cyclotrons are easy to use, reliable, compact. A high-frequency (HF) acceleration system is designed to transfer the energy of the accelerating electromagnetic field to accelerated protons. An HF-resonator is an important and complex component of the accelerator, which produces the necessary voltage on the electrodes for continuous acceleration of protons.

There will be a small coffee break at 4:00 PM, which precedes the seminar. The report will start at 4:15 PM.
