Abstract

PURPOSE:To measure the center position and size of a charged particle beam quickly using one measuring instrument without giving much disturbance to the beam by securing a plurality of charged particle sensors and a scraper to the frame, and driving specifically. CONSTITUTION:Sensing signals given by two charged particle sensors 11 having preferably the same shape and size and of the same material are passed through a filter 16 and amplifier 17 and fed to an adder 18. A controller 15 having received the signals sends a command signal to a driver 14 so that the sum of the two signals nullifies, and a driving part 13 having received it moves a frame 19. From this position, the center position 2 of a charged particle beam 1 can be determined. Thereafter a scraper 12 as attachment to the frame 19 is moved in the direction of the center track, and the beam size can be sensed from the position of the scraper 12 at the time of point, when the beam current is going to decrease, and the beam center position which has already been determined.

In the monitor using the electrodes described above, only the center position of the beam can be measured, and the beam size cannot be measured. On the other hand, a wire-frame type monitor can measure the beam size at the same time as the beam center position, but since it causes disturbance at the beam center, the beam swells up to the charged particle beam of low energy and the actual beam size is increased. Can't be measured.

Charged particle detectors are installed on both sides of the trajectory of charged particles, and two charged particles are detected so that a difference between detection signals from the two charged particle detectors becomes zero. The particle detector is moved laterally with respect to the beam trajectory while keeping the interval constant, and the center position of the beam is obtained from the position. Further, bring the attached scraper, which scrapes off the periphery of the charged particle beam, toward the direction of the center position of the charged particle beam, and detect the time when the beam current begins to decrease slightly from the detection signal from the existing beam current monitor. The beam size is obtained from the position of the scraper and the center position of the beam already obtained by the two charged particle detectors.

[Effects of the Invention] Both the center position and the beam size of a beam can be measured in a short time by a single measuring device without giving much disturbance to the beam. Further, since the center position of the beam is obtained from the position of the charged particle detector so that the difference between the detection signals from the two charged particle detectors becomes zero, the center position of the beam can be measured with high accuracy. Further, since the central position of the beam and the beam size can be measured by one measuring device, the size of the accelerator as a whole can be reduced.
