1. Beam Position and Energy Monitoring
in Compact Linear Accelerators for
Radiotherapy
The experimental verification of a novel sensor topology capable of measuring both the
position and energy of an electron beam inside a compact electron linear accelerator for
radiotherapy is presented. The method applies microwave sensing techniques and allows
for the noninterceptive monitoring of the respective beam parameters within compact
accelerators for medical or industrial purposes. A state space feedback approach is
described with the help of which beam displacements, once detected, can be corrected
within a few system macropulses. The proof-of-principle experiments have been conducted
with a prototype accelerator and customized hardware. Additionally, closed-loop operation
with high accuracy is demonstrated.
