Various initiatives in Europe have been launched to study superconducting magnets for a rotatable gantry suitable to deliver up to 430 MeV/u carbon ions for hadron therapy. Different technologies and layouts are being considered: the baseline solution is developed within the EuroSIG collaboration and consists of a strongly curved cos-$\theta$ dipole based on the classical NbTi superconductor.

Various initiatives in Europe have bene launched to study superconducting magnets for a rotatable gantry suitable for delivery up to 440 MeV/A carbon ions for hadron therapy. One initiative is led by INFN inside an agreement with CERN, CNAO and MedAustron aiming at designing and manufacturing a strongly curved costheta dipole (Rbending = 1.6 m) rated for 4 T central field and a ramp rate of 0.15-0.4 T/s.

Design of the First HTS Single-Coil Demonstrator of GaToroid Toroidal Gantry for Hadron Therapy
/ Felcini, Enrico (CERN) ; Harray, Jerome (CERN) ; Lehtinen, Tuukka (CERN) ; Perini, Diego (CERN) ; Perez, Juan C (CERN) ; de Rijk, Gijs (CERN) ; Dutoit, Bertrand (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Bottura, Luca (CERN)
The design and construction of compact and lightweight gantries for hadron therapy are essential steps toward wider accessibility to this cancer treatment. The use of a high-field steady-state toroidal gantry, i.e., GaToroid, represents an attractive alternative to the state-of-the-art with the potential of significantly reducing size and weight of present installations.

An Algorithm for Toroidal Field Harmonics Computation in Arbitrary Magnetic Configurations
/ Gambini, Laura (U. Bologna (main)) ; Breschi, Marco (U. Bologna (main)) ; Felcini, Enrico (CERN) ; Cristofolini, Andrea (U. Bologna (main)) ; Bottura, Luca (CERN)
Toroidal magnetic configurations are widely exploited
in industry and scientific research, involving a vast spectrum of applications, such as thermonuclear fusion, particle detectors, SMES
systems and medical devices. To properly design and analyse these
systems, it is crucial to determine the magnetic field generated by
different configurations. [...]

Magnetic Design of a Superconducting Toroidal Gantry for Hadron Therapy
/ Felcini, Enrico (CERN) ; Bottura, Luca (CERN) ; van Nugteren, Jeroen (CERN) ; de Rijk, Gijs (CERN) ; Kirby, Glyn (CERN) ; Dutoit, Bertrand (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne)
Hadron and proton therapy are cutting edge techniques for cancer treatment and a great development of specialized medical centers and research facilities is foreseen in the next decades. One of the main obstacles to the penetration of the use of charged particles for therapy is the construction of complex and expensive accelerating structures and rotating transfer lines, i.e., gantries, able to bend and focus the beam down to the patient.

TULIP (TUrning LInac for Protontherapy) is a novel compact accelerator system for protontherapy mounted on a rotating gantry (Amaldi et al., 2013, 2010, 2009). Its high-energy Linac has the unique property of being able to modulate the beam energy from one pulse to the next, in only a couple of milliseconds. [...]

Modeling of beam loss induced quenches in the LHC main dipole magnets
/ Breschi, Marco (U. Bologna (main)) ; Felcini, Enrico (CERN) ; Breccia, Francesca (U. Bologna (main)) ; Granieri, P P (CERN) ; Bergonzoni, Eleonora (U. Bologna (main)) ; Bevilacqua, Alessandro (U. Bologna (main)) ; Galassi, Pietro (U. Bologna (main)) ; Winkler, Tiemo (Twente U., Enschede) ; Bottura, Luca (CERN)
The full energy exploitation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a planned increase of the beam energy beyond the present 6.5 TeV, will result in more demanding working conditions for the superconducting dipoles and quadrupoles operating in the machine. It is hence crucial to analyze, understand, and predict the quench levels of these magnets for the required values of current and generated magnetic fields. [...]
