Zusammenfassung
Erfahrungsberichte aus der Praxis – nicht geschönt große Unterschiede zwischen den Beschleunigeranwendungen:
die Probleme sind jedoch bei allen ähnlich intensiver Austausch, sowohl in Podiumsdiskussionen
– Lüdeke - zentrale Datenbank für Reliability, [email protected] – Spencer - http://slac.stanford.edu/pubs/slactns/tn04/slac-tn-09-001.pdf
als auch mit den Teilnehmern viele Ideen für zu Hause mitgebracht

History
1977: start of cyclotron operation for nuclear physics (VICKSI)
1995 – 2006: Ionenstrahllabor ISL – laboratory for ion beam applications
– internal and external (~ 70%) users
– ion energy: eV < Eion< 800 MeV
– research areas:
• materials modification and ion-solid-interaction
• materials analysis
• medical applications
since 2007: accelerator operation for therapy purposes only
Accelerator Layout
2 x 14.5 GHz ECR sources on 150 kV platforms

start of RFQ operation for users
Reduction of Downtime
step by step process
addressing all subsystems:sources, injectors, beam lines, cyclotron, control systempreventive maintenanceincreased redundancymodernisation improved diagnosisreduction of elements
Preventive Maintenance
regular belt change of Van-de-Graaff service of rotating parts cyclic change of spare power supplies used on HV terminal drying of SF6 gas
cleaning of isolators service on vacuum pumps: oil, bearings replacement of water tubes
Modernisation
new computers for control system replacement of old dipole power supplies exchange of shunt against transducer regulation in quadrupole
power supplies (gain in stability: factor 10) discrete rectifiers replaced by complete 3-phase modules replacement of main coil power supply of cyclotron
side effect: less energy consumption
Redundancy / Reduction of elements
smaller variety of pumps, vacuum gauges, power supplies…. whenever possible: spare parts for quick exchange
low intensity proton beams: no pre-bunching no water cooling of deflector plates in beam line dipoles

ISL Protons for Therapy (PT)
11/04: decision to close ISL at the end of 2006– Post-Docs and technical staff on temporary
positions left– people were transferred
to other departments– stop of investments
9/06: start of planning operation solely for PT
– reduced man-power(less beam-time)
– reduction of beam lines, cables…
– this step: almost completed
nevertheless:maintain reliability
Accelerator Performance
small number of beam time hours: major events have huge impact on statistics

ISL PT: Operation Comparison
*exceptions on weekends: - experiments- infants, requiring more than 4 sessions
PT: Reliability
availability 95 % in 20072/3 of downtime due to one major event: electrostatic injection
– preventive maintenance– replacement of Ta shields by Ti
(good experience in ECR source)– after one week: failure– fault of new ceramics ?– Ti shields (now Ta again)– delay of 2 days
uptime 2008: 98 %worst case: failure in electricity supply at 6:00 am
– delay of 2 hours
Accelerator Operation: Reliability
uptime 2009: 95 %1/3 of downtime again due to one major event: water leak in RF
– interruption of therapy week for the first time since 1998 (110 therapy weeks)
availability 2010: 95 %frequent drops in RFerror difficult to find: isolator problems on tube socket of anode power supply
Lessons Learned
turbo pumps on 60 % of rotational speed (standby mode) increases service intervals about factor 5
analysis of residual gas for water logging of electricity for failure analysis
cryo pumps on
cryo pumps off
Wish List
Uninteruptable Power supplies:– overall solution: too expensive in investment and man power– thus only for computers of control system

ISL PT: Installation of a Tandetron
further shortening of beam lines less rooms reduction of radiation safety easy and reliable operation:
– no moving parts– source on “ground potential”
installation:Apr. 07:purchased from BAM, start of dismantlingOct. 07:transfer to HMI, installation startsSep. 08: first beam from sourceOct. 08: first beam through tandetronMar. 09: first beam through cyclotronAug. 10: acceptance test finished, applied for licenceDec. 10: licence grantedJan. 11: first therapy with tandetron as injector
