| Abstract |
At King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSHRC), the C-30 Cyclotron (manufactured by IBA) is used to produce radioisotopes for medical purposes. Working with very expensive machine dedicated for patients needs full attention and understanding of how beam can be controlled safely inside beam transport system. Moreover, knowledge of influence of magnetic lenses on charged particles is desired. Therefore, using off-line source such as PC-based beam simulator allows an operator to immediately see the effect of various magnetic lenses attached to the beam line. This would eliminate any damage may take place from striking of beam on the internal wall of beamline. For real beam measurement, beam position and profile was studied using a beam viewer. Whereas, simulated beam was generated using Beam Simulator program. Initially, the magnetic field of quadruples and steering magnet was recorded using Hall probe Teslameter. The magnetic field values were measured and then uploaded into the Beam simulator in which beam shape and position were recorded.
