Interrupted particle source

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-axis charged particle irradiation method and apparatus is presented, which includes separate or independent control of one or more of horizontal position, vertical position, energy control, and intensity control.

TL;DR: In this article, a synchrocyclotron comprises a resonant circuit that includes electrodes having a gap there between across the magnetic field, and a variable capacitor in circuit with the electrodes to vary the resonant frequency.

TL;DR: In this paper, a yoke having a first end and a second end is configured to hold a device that includes an aperture and a range compensation structure, and a catch arm is pivotally secured to the first end of the yoke.

TL;DR: In this paper, a negative ion beam source includes an injection system vacuum system and a synchrotron vacuum system separated by a foil, where negative ions are converted to positive ions.

TL;DR: The new proton therapy facility is being assembled at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the status of the facility and first experimental results are introduced for later reference.

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and method for performing treatment on an internal target region while compensating for breathing and other motion of the patient is provided in which the apparatus comprises a first imaging device for periodically generating positional data about the internal target regions and a second imaging device that continuously generates position data about one or more external markers attached to the patient's body or any external sensor such as a device for measuring air flow.

TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and methods for depositing materials on a substrate, and for performing other selected functions, such as material destruction and removal, temperature control, imaging, detection, therapy and positional and locational control, are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, a proton beam therapy system is proposed for selectively generating and transporting proton beams from a single proton source and accelerator to selected ones of a plurality of patient treatment stations each having a rotatable gantry for delivering the beam at different angles to patients supported in fixed orientations at the stations.
