MC1: New Development and Status Reports

Oral Presentation

MedAustron is a synchrotron-based cancer therapy center providing proton and carbon ion beams in an energy range of 62–252 MeV/u and of 120–400 MeV/u, respectively. The facility has three clinical irradiation rooms, among which horizontal and vertical beam lines as well as a proton gantry are available for treatment. A fourth irradiation room is dedicated to non-clinical research and will...

51. Applying machine learning techniques to the operation of the superconducting ECR ion source VENUS (WEB2)

MC6: Applications and Diagnostics

Oral Presentation

An operator of the superconducting ECR ion source VENUS tasked with optimizing the current of a specific ion species or finding a stable operating mode is faced with an operation space composed of ten-to-twenty knobs in which to determine the next move. Machine learning techniques are well-suited to multidimensional optimization spaces.Over the last three years we have been working to employ...

22. Beam intensity prediction using ECR plasma images and machine learning (WEB3)

9/18/24, 11:50 AM

MC6: Applications and Diagnostics

Oral Presentation

Long-term beam stability is one of the important issues in supplying multivalent heavy ion beams using an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS). When the beam intensity drops for long-term operation, the ECRIS parameters need to be tuned to restore the original beam intensity. Continuous measurement of the beam intensity using a Faraday cup (FC) is impractical while the beam is in...
