  Fondazione tera

  May 2016 - Jun 2017

  Research fellow

  • Development and analysis of beam optics solutions for proton and carbon ion gantries by means of MAD-x ,Travel and Trace3D• Optimisation of Gantry design for the Pebble Mills Hospital, reducing at the minimum the number of quadrupoles and implementing angular and energy invariance of the beam, trough a point to point telescope imaging. The same principle has been applied to the transfer line until the coupling point.• Analysis of positioning and field errors on the magnetic elements, studying the diagnostic and correction devices• Development of MATLAB routines and GUIs in order to automate the interactions between the different softwares and perform large number of simulations for statistical studies • Interaction and collaboration with commercial companies for magnets design and specifications Show less
