Beam intensity modulation at the PSI Philips Cyclotron

  • 1. PSI, CH-5232 Villigen PSI (Switzerland)

Description

The intensity delivered by the PSI Philips Cyclotron is controlled by means of an electrostatic deflector and collimators located close to the center of the accelerator. This system allows for the precise stabilization and smooth modulation of the beam intensity, the generation of beam pulses of variable length and repetition rate, and the fast interruption of the beam in case of emergency. This technique is particularly well suited for present and future medical applications
