Abstract
Cyclotron includes an acceleration chamber, a vacuum system, an ion source system, and a control system that is configured to determine at least one operating parameter as a particle beam is directed along a beam path of the cyclotron. The control system is configured to decrease a supply of the charged particles for the particle beam based on the at least one operating parameter. The particle beam continues after decreasing the supply of the charged particles. The control system is also configured to increase the supply of the charged particles for the particle beam after a predetermined time period or in response to determining that an amount of gas molecules has reduced based on the at least one operating parameter.
