NSLS-II - Beamline Development Workshop

"BDP Workshop - Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (MIRT)"

Presented by Various Speakers, Different Affiliations

Monday, May 9, 2011, 8:00 am — NSLS-II Seminar Room, Bldg. 817

We propose the development of a state-of-the-art medical imaging and radiation therapy beamline for the NSLS-II, building on the experience and success to date at NSLS. The justifications for such a facility are a) the local expertise in medicine and technology in support of the ideas and demands of a diverse user community, and b) the specifications of the NSLS-II, making it one of the most suitable facilities anywhere for use in medical applications. These specifications include the facility’s 3.0 GeV ring energy, 500 mA top-off ring current and low emittance, the possibility of a high field superconducting wiggler source for full field, wide fan-beam imaging, and prospects for having a long beam line for imaging of large animals and potentially human subjects. Both basic research and preclinical studies in a wide range of applications will be conducted at the beam line. The facility will attract a large number of investigators from the immediate neighborhood, from the rest of the United States, and from other countries. The beamline will be competitive with the similar existing and planned facilities, globally.
