Abstract :
The electron cooling technology applied to a heavy ion medical accelerator will open a world of high performance yet with considerably lower cost. The cold beam enables innovative beam extraction methods. It also enables high energy economic beam lines less power consumption. The highlight of the cold beam accelerator is a two axis rotating carbon gantry.
