Conceptional design of the laser ion source based hadrontherapy facility

A laser ion source (LIS), which can provide a carbon beam with highly stripped state (C⁶⁺) and high intensity (several tens mA), would significantly change the overall design of the hadrontherapy facility. The proposed LIS based hadrontherapy facility has the advantages of short linac length, simple injection scheme, and small synchrotron size. With the experience from the DPIS and HITFiL projects that have been conducted in IMP, a conceptional design of the LIS based hadrontherapy facility will be presented, with special attention given to APF type IH DTL design and simulation.     

基于无穷单应的大视场摄像机标定方法

在大视场摄像机标定中,常常会出现由于场景过于单一而很难达到自标定所需要的场景约束和运动约束条件、立体标定所需要的强立体条件或者平面靶板标定所需要的绝对共面条件,如指向高空区域的摄像机标定任务就很难满足上述要求,因而大视场摄像机标定需要较为弹性的标定算法。提出一种基于无穷单应的大视场摄像机标定方法,该方法最少只需要4个非共线控制点和摄像机粗略的位置即可求解无穷单应,并且提出一种坐标变换方法以保证线性求解和优化无穷单应时的稳定性。从无穷单应中分解得到摄像机参数初始值,通过Levenberg-Marquardt(LM)优化算法最终实现摄像机的标定。在优化过程中,通过假设图像中心为主点和采用一阶径向畸变模型,相对增加了优化过程中的剩余自由度,能够实现4个像点为观测值的参数优化。相比于强立体或共面的条件,此方法所需条件很容易满足。仿真和实际实验验证了此方法的正确性和高精度,以及重复测量实验的灵活易实施。     

RF knock-out extraction in HITFiL

A compact facility for cancer therapy has been designed and is presently under construction. A slow beam extraction system using the RF-Knock Out method and 3rd-order resonance is adopted in the synchrotron of this facility. Eight sextupoles are used, four of them are for correcting the chromaticity and the rest for driving the 3rd-order resonance. In order to save the aperture of vacuum chamber, a 3-magnet bump is adopted during the extraction process. The extraction phase space map and the last 3 turns' particle trajectory before extraction are given. The matching betatron functions with HEBT (high energy beam transport) are also presented.
