摘 要:The distinguishing feature and current technique progress of tumor treatment with heavy-ion beams is introduced in the paper. Additional superiority to tumor treatment from a radioactive ion beam (RIB) is emphatically discussed. The experimental research of the radioactive 9C-ion beams aimed at tumor treatment at Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), Japan is described in detail, La-eluding production of the beams, optimization of parameters, distribution of depth dose, survival effect of cell and comparison of RBE between 9C- and 12C-beams. Results show that under 40 mm thick Beryllium target and 10 mm thick aluminum degrader at full (5%) momentum acceptance, the production rate and purity of the produced 9C-beams are 9.07×10-6 and 82.88% respectively with the primary 12C-beams of 430 MeV/u and 1.8×109 pps. A uniform irradiation field with homogeneity up to 89.6% inside central area 10 mm in diameter is obtained by using spot scanning. In this case, the dose rate at the entrance is 0.5 Gy/h. In survival experiment of cells, the average relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 9C-beams is 5.28 and 2.93 for 12C-beams in the region around Bragg peak. The RBE of 9C-beams is 1.8 times higher than that of 12C-beams. It indicates that cell-killing efficiency of 9C-beams is stronger than that of 12C-beams. 9C-beams are more efficacious for tumor treatment than 12C-beams.
