Accelerator Applications What we have done so far What we plan to do next First thoughts on EuCARD3
EuCARD-2 is co-funded by the partners and the European Commission under Capacities 7th Framework Programme, Grant Agreement 312453
Accelerator Applications
>30000 accelerators already in use around the World Annual sales: >$3.5B Annual product, etc, sales: >$0.5T Fit into a few broad categories:
• Energy• Environment• Healthcare• Industry• Security and defence• Research
See: http://eucardapplications.hud.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Accelerator-applications.xlsx
Accelerator Applications
Energy: - Fission: ADS, materials irradiation, etc - Fusion: HIEF, muCF, plasma heating, materials irradiation, etc
Environment:- Water treatment- Flue gas treatment
Health: - Radioisotope production: PET, 99mTc, therapeutic isotopes - Radiotherapy: protons, ions, neutrons, etc - Imaging: pCT
Industry: - Ion implantation - Ion Beam Analysis - Food, medical instruments, etc treatment - Materials processing: cross-linking polymers, etc
Security and defence:- Cargo screening: x-rays, protons, neutrons, muons- Hydrodynamic tests
Workshops so far
Modern hadron therapy gantry developments - 16th-17th January 2014 Some outcomes:
- much interest in reducing gantry size- main emphasis on superconducting magnets
- lots of progress in this area

Accelerator Based Neutron Production – 14th-15th April 2014 Some outcomes:
- collaboration on a novel BNCT target cooling mechanism- H2020 proposal on BNCT: not successful
- Accelerator BNCT workshop
Workshops so far
Use GalInStaNGa In Sn eutectic.
15 degrees melting point.Much higher thermal
conductivity.Not yet tested with a beam.
Tested using Dynamitron accelerator in Birmingham, UK.
Workshops so far
Dynamitron: 1.5mA at 3 MeV: 4.5 kW 65 MW/m2 achieved – good for cooling tests Upgrade to 15 mA possible Liquid lithium target Best facility for neutron irradiation studies in
the UK Possibility for TNA in “EuCARD3”?

Compact Muon Accelerators for Radioisotope Production – 26th to 27th March 2015
Some outcomes:- Need for both “big” central facilities…..
- ….and small, hospital based (mainly for PET)- Future supply of 99mTc either is or isn’t a problem
or both - Supply of therapeutic isotopes needs improvement - Various new technologies
- Possible topic for inclusion in “EuCARD3”
