    The purpose of the report is to introduce work necessary to determine impact of selected cyclotron Proteus C-230 parameters affecting workflow of Proteus 235 Proton Therapy System, which is located inside Institute of Nuclear Physics in Cracow. In particular, the properties of produced ion beam such as the stability and cross-section shape of the beam were analyzed. Gathered data from conducted research will be utilized primarily during beam optics re-work for nuclear physics experiments and also during daily operation of the cyclotron.

    Projekt źródła prądowego, do testów sterowania systemu produkcji wiązki cyklotronu C230, pod kątem pomiarów energii metodą TOF
    (Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences, 2016) Kamiński, Łukasz; Daniel, Krzysztof; Duszyc, Michał; Guguła, Konrad; Janik, Grzegorz; Koczot, Andrzej; Jabłońska, Magdalena; Pasiecznik, Tomasz; Raczyński, Łukasz; Suder, Krzysztof; Winiarz, Mateusz; Rogóż-Duda, Agnieszka; Kopeć, Renata
    The project involved creation of the control system for the beam production system in order to allow measurements of the proton energy using TOF method. Two conceptual solutions were considered. Triggering system based on the existing power supply was rejected at the stage of testing due to excessive delays present in the system. Therefore new source control system (power supply) was made in order to regulate the BCREU (Beam Control Regulation Electronic Unit). Main features of this system include generating pulses of variable duration, adjusting the time between pulses and creating dedicated control interface. The control system was based on the ATmega328 microcontroller (located on the Arduino Uno board) and the adjusting system was realized using the embedded system based on Linux. Performed tests of the pulsing source revealed limitations of the Beam Control Regulation Electronic Unit (BCREU) which resulted in necessity to set duration of the pulse greater than 25 μs.
