Abstract :
Results of the beam dynamics simulation in the superconducting for a radiation therapy proton linac with energy 240 MeV will presented. The main parameters of the accelerator allowing holding the beam envelope lower than 5 mm will be chosen. A possibility of beam transmission coefficient achievement higher than 95% will be shown. Methods of energy particles adjustment will discussed.
