Abstract

The IBA Company develops an energy selection system coupled to a superconducting cyclotron to generate light ion beams for hadron therapy with energy ranging from 100 MeV to 400 MeV per nucleon. Transmission properties of this energy selection system and fragmentation of the incident ion beams on the energy degrader are studied using the PHITS Monte Carlo simulation code.
