High bandwidth beam intensity monitor for the Loma Linda medical accelerator
Creators
Description
This paper presents a gas scintillator built and tested to monitor and control the extracted proton beam intensity for the Loma Linda medical accelerator. The device is potentially capable of measuring intensity to 1% accuracy at a 100-kHz bandwidth. The intensity monitor is extremely resistant to radiation damage and contributes less than 2 mrad of multiple scattering to the passing proton beam. The monitor consists of a gas cell filled with krypton and coupled to an EMI 9902 photomultiplier with a quartz window
