ACCEL已经交付了两个超导回旋加速器，以产生250 MeV的质子用于癌症治疗。基于国家超导回旋加速器实验室（NSCL）的概念设计，这些机器是第一批由工业设计和建造的此类机器。与普通的导电回旋加速器相比，超导的应用提供了更好和更可靠的束流性能。我们介绍了超导应用的评估，回顾了设计和组装，并报告了第一年在低温和磁性性能方面的运行经验。
Two superconducting cyclotrons have been delivered by ACCEL to produce 250 MeV protons for cancer treatment. Based on a conceptual design of the national superconducting cyclotron laboratory (NSCL) these machines are the first ones of their kind being engineered and built by industry. Application of superconductivity provides better and more reliable beam performance as compared to normal conducting cyclotrons. We present the assessment for applying superconductivity, review the design and assembly, and report on the first year of operation experience with regard to cryogenic and magnetic performance.
