Resumo

A raster scanning method has been developed for cancer therapy at NIRS–HIMAC. This method requires a high-accuracy beam current control and fast beam-on/off switching. We have developed a feedback control system of the beam current with the RF-knockout slow extraction method. The system has allowed a stable response to beam-on/off switching using a feedback control delay function with a beam-current ripple of 7%.
