Abstract

The Korea Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator project (KHIMA) has been proposed as an ion-beam synchrotron facility for cancer therapy. The facility will be installed at Gijang, Busan with completion in 2017. The proposed maximum energy of the ions is 430 MeV/u (for carbon) to cover various tumor depths up to 30 cm. For the synchrotron design, we optimized the lattice configuration to fit the therapy. We discuss here the status of the synchrotron’s design.
