Abstract
The invention relates to a method and to a device for controlling a beam extraction irradiation device for heavy ions operating according to the raster scan technique, wherein the beam energy, beam focusing and beam intensity are adjusted for every accelerator cycle. By adjusting the beam extraction duration for every accelerator cycle, considerable savings of time are achieved.
