Industrial Application of Accelerators
No full textAt CERN, we are very familiar with large, high energy particle accelerators. However, in the world outside CERN, there are more than 35000 accelerators which are used for applications ranging from treating cancer, through making better electronics to removing harmful micro-organisms from food and water. These are responsible for around $0.5T of commerce each year. Almost all are less than 20 MeV and most use accelerator types that are somewhat different from what is at CERN.
These lectures will describe some of the most common applications, some of the newer applications in development and the accelerator technology used for them. It will also show examples of where technology developed for particle physics is now being studied for these applications.
Rob Edgecock is a Professor of Accelerator Science, with a particular interest in the medical applications of accelerators. He works jointly for the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the International Institute for Accelerator Applications at the University of Huddersfield. He has been the coordinator of the Accelerator Applications Network of the EuCARD2 FP7 project since 2013 and will continue this role in the ARIES H2020 project. In EuCARD2, he has initiated a project to document the importance of accelerators for European policy-makers. He also leads the design of FFAG accelerators for medical applications and is making a significant contribution to the RF system of the European Spallation Source in Lund

Rob and Bert in Tokyo
No full textThis essay is steeped in contradiction: it is as much an attempt at mourning, coping, and letting go as it is an exercise in remembrance, rediscovery, and reconnection. One of the many areas of international legal scholarship where Rob Cryer left his mark is his oeuvre on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE). To pay tribute to, and get re-acquainted with, Rob-the-person, I re-read his 2010 article on the ‘dignified dissenter’ in Tokyo, Dutch Judge Bert Röling. In that article, Rob uses the memoranda and the opinion of Bert-the-judge to assess his conceptual and legal contributions to the IMTFE judgment. They also serve him as a vehicle to get a better grasp of the author behind the text and the values and dilemmas that shaped Röling’s positions on the IMTFE bench. What more can we learn and understand about Rob Cryer while ‘reading Rob reading Bert’? What aspects of Röling’s legacy did he choose to foreground, and what qualities did he appreciate most? How did Rob treat his character when shedding light on the more contentious elements of Röling’s work? Even if this essay fails in its therapeutic purpose, it might still add a few mosaic pieces to the collective construction of Rob’s portrait in this volume

A new type of accelerator for charged particle cancer therapy
No full textNon-scaling Fixed Field Alternating Gradient accelerators (ns-FFAGs) show great potential for the
acceleration of protons and light ions for the treatment of certain cancers. They have unique features as they combine
techniques from the existing types of accelerators, cyclotrons and synchrotrons, and hence look to have advantages over
both for this application. However, these unique features meant that it was necessary to build one of these accelerators to
show that it works and to undertake a detailed conceptual design of a medical machine. Both of these have now been
done. This paper will describe the concepts of this type of accelerator, show results from the proof-of-principle machine
(EMMA) and described the medical machine (PAMELA)
