Abstract
A new method of remotely measuring a cyclotron's proton beam energy over the range of 10–45 MeV is described. Aluminum foils are placed in front of the beam to reduce the beam energy to about 2–4 MeV; then an aluminum foil, 0.030 inches thick, and an insulated Faraday plate (0.25 inch thick) are rotated in the beam path through an angle of 45°, and the beam current on the Faraday plate is measured as a function of the angle of rotation. A graph of beam current vs thickness of aluminum, is plotted and the beam energy is then calculated from these data points using tables of range vs energy.
