Beam intensity is one of very important beam parameters in accelerator, in medical proton therapy accelerator, line Intensity is not only directly related to the quality and effect for the treatment of, but also is related to the life security of patient.It is controlled carrying out proton to patient When treatment, the beam intensity measuring device using unobstructed type is needed.To the beam intensity measuring device of unobstructed type, need using High-precision Faraday cup calibrates its measured value accordingly.
Existing Faraday cup mostly uses secondary electron to inhibit bias to prevent secondary electron evolution Faraday cup from causing to survey The deviation of amount, while preventing secondary electron from escaping using the method for increasing Faraday cup length.Permanent magnet can also be used, utilize magnetic Field inhibits secondary electron, such as secondary electron to 10eV kinetic energy, and in the magnetic field of 10mT, moving radius is 1mm left It is right, it is ensured that secondary electron does not escape out Faraday cup.But no matter electricity inhibit or magnetic inhibit, to secondary on Faraday cup center line It is all poor that electronics escapes most apparent its inhibitory effect of region, and permanent magnet deposits failure under the influence of heat.
Summary of the invention
Currently, domestic many units carry out high-precision to proton beam intensity of flow in the correlative study for carrying out proton therapeutic The Faraday cup device of measurement has broad application prospects.Since proton therapeutic appts structure is compact to design, how The direct precise measurement to beam intensity is realized in the confined space and dress is measured to the beam intensity of unobstructed type on this basis It sets calibrate and have very important significance.The evolution of secondary electron present in existing Faraday cup device and fever etc. are asked Topic, is unable to satisfy the design requirement of proton therapeutic instrument.
For the demand, the present invention is intended to provide a kind of structure is simple, occupies little space, is cheap, effectively reducing On Faraday cup center line secondary electron escape and reduce the high-precision Faraday cup device of fever for proton therapeutic convolution plus The measurement of fast device beam intensity.
To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is that a kind of high-precision Faraday cup, including Faraday cup Main body, wherein further include that the secondary electron being arranged on the outside of the Faraday cup body openings inhibits bias electrode, be arranged in institute The intracorporal hollow pyramidal structure of Faraday cup master is stated, the pyramidal structure can make generate in the Faraday cup main body two Secondary electronics will not be launched outward along the central axes of the Faraday cup main body.
Further, the pyramidal structure and the Faraday cup main body are coaxial, and the opening direction of heavy caliber one end is tested beam The injection direction of stream, small-bore one end are connected with the Faraday cup main body.
Further, the Faraday cup main body, the production material of pyramidal structure are copper.
Further, water cooling pipeline is equipped in the bottom of the other end of the Faraday cup main body far from opening.
Further, penetrating in material is made used by the Faraday cup main body according to the particle of tested line Journey, the thickness of the Faraday cup bottom part body are greater than the range, and the water cooling pipeline is arranged except the range, avoids Cooling water in the water cooling pipeline is activated.
It further, further include that the secondary electron is arranged in inhibit bias electrode far from the Faraday cup body side Protective grounding electrode.
The beneficial effects of the present invention are: used Faraday cup has structure simple, occupies little space, can effectively subtract The advantages of few secondary electron evolution, raising measurement accuracy, while structure design can increase the thermal capacity of Faraday cup, improve Safety;When beam energy is concentrated, it can effectively disperse beam energy, prevent local temperature is excessively high from damaging;It can be extensive Applied to the measurement in proton therapeutic field beam intensity, and there is the value promoted the use of to related fields.
