For the clinic in Heidelberg/Germany an accelerator facility is proposed for the treatment of cancer tumours with light ions using the ‘intensity controlled rasterscan‘ method [1,2,3,4]. The layout of the synchrotron is presented, that is designed to accelerate carbon ions from an injection energy of 7 MeV/u up to a maximum extraction energy of 430 MeV/u, corresponding to a maximum magnetic rigidity of 6.5 Tm. In addition to carbon ions, the delivery of protons, helium- and oxygen ions are requested as well. Beside an overview of the compact synchrotron configuration ion optical properties and calculations of the main operation phases are described. A dynamical change of the ion optics is foreseen to meet the injection and extraction requirements. For beam extraction the ‘transverse knock out‘ procedure [6] with variable flat top duration is proposed to maintain constant beam optics during extraction and to minimise the treatment time by multiple beam extraction within one synchrotron cycle.
