This article presents the conceptual design of a new compact superconductinggantry and synchrotron for Carbon ion therapy and focuses on the solutions(layout and optics) to make it compact. The main specificity of this gantrydesign is to be smaller and lighter with respect to the existing carbon-iongantries. This is achieved by adopting an innovative mechanical design and byusing superconducting magnets of the Canted Cosine Theta type with a smallaperture. The optics is optimized to reduce the beam size, it is achromatic andit is independent of the rotation angle (for an incoming round beam). Apreliminary synchrotron layout based on similar superconducting magnets unitsis presented and the dose delivery specificities are discussed.
