AbstractThe ANTHEM (Advanced Technologies for Human-centered Medicine) research project will establish a Research and Clinical Center in Caserta, Italy, for the study and application of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). The Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), designed by INFN, produces proton beam of 30 mA at 5 MeV, impinging on a beryllium target. A 12 m long Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line, located after the RFQ, is responsible for transporting the beam to the target for optimal neutron production. This paper gives an overview of the design of MEBT line and details its main characteristics about beam dynamics, vacuum system and its mechanical layout.
