Abstract:
Beside the therapy station for ocular tumours, we have an experimental area for irradiations with protons and other ions either in air or in vacuum. The beam spot can be focused to a diameter of 1 mm in air. For larger homogeneous irradiated areas, we can use beam scanning with up to10 nA spot current. If scanning is not possible due to experimental needs, scattering foils are used. For protons, the energy can be set to a mono-energetic beam of 68 MeV or to spread-out Bragg peaks with a mechanical range shifter. Very quick energy changes are achieved by absorber plates to reduce the energy.
