Date/Time: Wed 2016-11-23 at 14:00

Location:  ISAC II Conf Rm     

Speaker:   Yuri Bylinski (TRIUMF)

Title:     Report on Cyclotrons and their Applications conference 2016

Abstract: ICCA is a triennial conference that discusses developments in the field of cyclotrons. The recent event (CYC2016) organized by Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) took place in Zurich, Switzerland. This talk will address the conference highlights, in particular, a progress in development of new PET cyclotrons (12-25 MeV), including so called "table top coffee maker", successes in commissioning of mid-energy cyclotrons (70-100 MeV), ramp-up in the proton therapy (200-250 MeV) machines production, and challenges in reaching extreme beam power (high energy, high intensity) frontiers.
