      Andrii Pastushenko (GSI)
      08/10/2026, 11:00

      Acceleration of mixed beams with unequal A/Q constitutes an interesting option to enlarge the possible combination of ions delivered simultaneously from a synchrotron, with potential applications in particle therapy, plasma physics, nuclear physics, and materials research. In this scheme, two ion beams are injected sequentially using multi-turn injection and then independently captured and...

      Edgar Cristopher Cortes Garcia (CERN)
      08/10/2026, 14:50

      We present the current status of HEARTS++, a proposed European high-energy heavy-ion irradiation facility to be hosted at CERN. The project targets two critical gaps in the existing landscape: the growing shortage of beam time availability for European academic and industrial users, and the restricted energy range inherent to conventional cyclotron-based facilities.

      Oral presentation
      Mixed-beam generation

      Historically, mixed ion beams have been generated - often involuntarily - from a single ion source and simultaneously injected into a synchrotron. As it turns out, this approach is limited by 1) the injector hardware, such as e.g. the ion sources, LINAC cavities, and magnets that might not be able to accommodate the required charge-to-mass ratios (q/m), 2) the ion sources that potentially...

      David Ondreka
      09/10/2026, 09:05

      Acceleration of mixed beams with unequal A/Q, or dual-frequency acceleration, constitutes an interesting option to enlarge the possible combinations of ions delivered simultaneously from a synchrotron, with potential applications in particle therapy, plasma physics, nuclear physics, and materials research. In this scheme, two ion beams are injected sequentially using multi-turn injection and...

    22. 27. Measuring mixed-beam properties in the accelerator complex
      Elisabeth Renner (Technische Universität Wien)
      09/10/2026, 10:40

      The commissioning and further development of mixed helium--carbon beam delivery benefit significantely from access to species-resolved beam properties throughout the accelerator complex. As conventional beam diagnostics generally measure the combined beam, dedicated methods are required to distinguish helium and carbon.

      This talk discusses diagnostic approaches for different stages of the...

      Poster

      For mixed ion beams, two different ion species with the same charge-to-mass ratio are accelerated simultaneously. This contribution refers to mixed He and C beams for medical applications in ion beam therapy. The heavier C ions with lower range are used for the treatment while lighter primary He ions pass the patient. Since both ion species are extracted at the same velocity, the range of C in...
