This work presents the logical design, connections between NIM and VME elec­tronic modules, and the data acquisition programming to build a complete detector readout system. The test experiments were carried out with commercial silicon PIN diode S3590-09 bare detectors bombarded by charged particles from a 241Am α-source and Rutherford elastic backscattering (RBS) protons induced by 2.5 MeV proton beam bombarding on an Au-on-glass target, and with a NaI scintillation detector bombarded by gammas from 27Al(p, γ)28Si reaction with proton beam energy of 1.379 MeV. The test showed that the spectrometer operated steadily and its versatility for different kind of detector. The energy resolutions of the Si diodes were less than 0.5% energy of a charged particle, which satisfies the foreseen requirement for the upcoming experiments.

The purpose of this study is to provide an energy verification method for the nozzle of the SC200 proton therapy facility to ensure safe redundancy of treatment. This paper first introduces the composition of the energy selection system of the SC200 proton therapy facility. Secondly, according to IEC60601 standard, the energy verification requirement that correspond to 1 mm error in water is presented. The allowable difference between the measured magnetic field and the reference are calculated based on the energy verification requirements to select the field resolution of the Hall probe. To ensure accuracy and stability, two Hall probes are mounted on the dipole to monitor the magnetic field strength to verify the proton beam energy in real time. In addition, the test results of the residual field of the dipole show that the probe system meets the accuracy requirements of energy verification. Furthermore, the maximum width of the slit of the energy selection system in accordance with the IEC standard at the corresponding energy is calculated and compared with the actual position of the movable slit to verify the momentum divergence of the proton beam. Finally, we present an energy verification method.
