Description
The Heidelberg Ion-Beam Therapy Centre HIT uses the RF-KO slow extraction method to extract the particles from the synchrotron. To improve the spill quality of the extracted beam a new RF-signal was investigated which increases the R-value from 92.5% to 97.5%. The signal is a multiband RF signal broadened with a random BPSK at 3 frequency bands. The new KO-DDS which generates the signal is in medical use since October 2023 and the first experience are presented in this talk.
