abstract = {Recently, the heavy ion synchrotron SIS18 at GSI was for
the first time operated with a dual-isotope beam, made up of
12C3+ and 4He+. Such a beam can be used to improve carbon
radiotherapy by providing online information on dose
deposition, where the helium ions serve as a probe beam
traversing the patient while depositing a negligible dose.
For this, the accelerator has to deliver a slowly extracted
beam with a fixed fraction of helium over the spill. The
difference in mass-to-charge ratio of 4He compared to 12C is
small enough to permit simultaneous acceleration and to make
the two isotopes practically indistinguishable for the
accelerator instrumentation. Yet, it may cause a temporal
shift between the two components in the spill owing to the
sensitivity of slow extraction to tiny tune variations. We
investigated different extraction methods, and examined the
time-wise stability of the dual-isotope beam with a beam
monitoring setup installed in the GSI biophysics experiment
room. A constant helium fraction was obtained using
transverse knock-out extraction with adjusted chromaticity.},
