Abstract
Current measurements for high intensity beams present some challenges for monitors located behind a target due to the heat load from the scattered particles. The resulting resonance drifts make accurate current and transmission measurements very difficult. These problems will become more severe with higher intensity beam operation (3mA, 1.8MW) in the PSI cyclotron. This paper presents the techniques that have been developed to overcome this problem. The present solution is based on an innovative scheme to measure on-line the resonator gain and to correct the estimate of the current.
