LARAMED is a new research infrastructure, now under construction at Legnaro National labs (LNL), which will take advantage of the high performance BEST 70p cyclotron (70 MeV, 750 μA ) recently commissioned in the framework of SPES project. LARAMED project is indeed the LNL proposal for an international-class level and well-established research center, which main goals cover different topics,...

At INFN-Legnaro (LNL) there is an ongoing effort to create a suite of neutron sources based on two high current proton accelerators: a 5 MeV (30 mA) linac developed at LNL and the new 35-70 MeV (0.75 mA) cyclotron of SPES. These will produce cold, thermal, epithermal, and fast neutrons for a variety of applied and basic research programs (material characterization, imaging, neutron detectors,...

The ProteusONE proton therapy system by IBA, equipped with the superconducting synchro-cyclotron (S2C2) is now operational at 2 proton therapy centers and three more centers are currently being installed.
The on-site installations and further in-factory testing of the S2C2 has provided much insight in the reproducibility of the beam characteristics and has showed us a fast and efficient...

The cyclotron recently installed and commissioned at the National Laboratory in Legnaro can deliver proton beams with current up to 700 microA and energy in the range 35-70 MeV. During the machine commissioning, the operational quantities used for radiation protection purposes have been monitored in the installation, both during the beam acceleration/extraction and after the end of...

The INFN-LNS RF system can be considered a sort of continuous work in progress, since the commissioning of the k-800 superconducting cyclotron, more than 20 years ago. We would like to show the most important changes, upgrades and improvements of the entire RF system, related to the low level, high level and mechanics. Some of the improvements are related to the system’s age, to the...
