Gliederung

Text

More and more carbon ion accelerators for hadrontherapy are being built worldwide, but only one carbon ion gantry exists. The main reason is that, because of the high rigidity, the size, the weight and the power consumption are very large for a "normal" design.

A few ideas on how the design could be made "better" have been proposed in literature and in the next years there will be additional studies on the subject.

In this talk some of these ideas are collected and illustrated.
