Real-time analysis for a scintillating fiber-based ion beam profile monitor — •Liqing Qin, Qian Yang, and Blake Leverington — Physikalisches Institut, Heidelberg, Germany

For raster scanning of a pencil beam during ion beam therapy, it is necessary to monitor the beam in real-time for safety and quality reasons.

A scintillating fiber-based beam profile monitor developed from LHCb fiber winding techniques will offer real-time information of the pencil beam parameters, including position, width, and intensity, with a readout rate of up to 10 kHz.

The preliminary reconstruction algorithm for a Gaussian-like beam is being implemented on an FPGA. Preliminary results of the reconstruction algorithm performance on the FPGA will be presented.
