Abstract:
An example device for trimming a particle beam includes: structures made of material that blocks passage of the particle beam, with the structures being configurable to define an edge that is movable into a path of the particle beam; and linear motors that are controllable to configure the structures to define the edge.

Claim (Index 26):
A particle therapy system comprising:\n a particle accelerator to output a particle beam, the particle accelerator generating neutron radiation in an enclosed treatment space during operation; one or more scanning magnets to move the particle beam relative to an irradiation target in a patient; and a device to trim the particle beam, the device being between the one or more scanning magnets and the patient, the device comprising:\n structures comprised of material that blocks passage of the particle beam, the structures being configurable to define an edge that is movable into a path of the particle beam such that a first part of the particle beam on a first side of the edge is blocked by the structures and such that a second part of the particle beam on a second side of the edge is not blocked by the structures; and \n linear motors that are controllable to configure the structures by driving the structures linearly to define the edge; and \n one or more processing devices to control operation of the device to trim the particle beam, the one or more processing devices being located in an area that is exposed to less than a specified amount of the neutron radiation.
