Abstract
Project of SAGA Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Tosu (SAGA HIMAT) is promoted by Saga prefecture with private financial supports, investments, and also personal donations. With this funding, facility construction is conducted by a collaboration of SAGA-HIMAT foundation and SAGA HIMAT company. The facility is constructing in Tosu-shi near Shinn-Tosu shinkansen station, which has easy access from Kyushu island area and also south west Japan. In the facility, there are three treatment rooms, where first one has been equipped with horizontal and 45 degree oblique beam lines, second one has horizontal and vertical beam lines, and third one is for future preparation of spot scanning irradiation system. Design of an accelerator itself is same as a therapy facility at Gunma University, i.e., acceleration ion is carbon, maximum beam energy is 400MeV/u, and maximum beam intensity is 1.3x10{sup 9}pps. An injection line to a synchrotron and transport lines to three treatment rooms had been rearranged. Designs of the accelerator and an irradiation system have started at beginning of 2010, and the construction of a facility building has started at beginning of this year (2011). Installations of accelerator devices are expected to start at beginning of 2012, and the facility is planned
