Description
The program of heavy ion shallow tumor therapy has been started. The beam monitor system for the therapy is described in this paper. It is composed of plastic scintillator, which used to monitor the stability of beam intensity and control the irradiation dose, and PPAC which is to measure the beam homogeneity in the irradiation area. This system has shown good performance in the clinic experiments of the shallow tumor therapy. (authors)
