Abstract
Fast energy modulation within beamline acceptance has potential for clinical applications and, when realized with an upstream degrader, does not require modification in the beamline hardware, therefore, being potentially applicable in any running facility. Centers with slow energy switching time can particularly profit from such a technique for reducing dead time during treatment delivery.
