A beam transport system for a Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator is presented. The design allows for ease of tuning, similarity of tuning between different beam lines, and future expansion of the number of beamlines. An option for generating secondary beams with acceptable transmission losses to all treatment areas is also included in the design, as is a vertical beamline option for use with patients in a horizontal position. 3 refs., 5 figs., 3 tabs.
