A normal-conducting carbon-ion synchrotron design for cancer therapy is proposed. The lattice design is based on the double-bend achromat lens with additional quadrupole magnets. The proposed synchrotron design is compact with a circumference of 55 meters. The lattice is tuned for slow extraction at the third integer resonance and the optical functions are optimised with considerations for reducing the power consumption during operation.
