AB  - In the context of research on simultaneous heavy ion radiotherapy and radiography, a mixed carbon/helium ion beam has been successfully established and investigated at GSI for the first time to serve fundamental experiments on this new mode of image guidance. A beam with an adjustable ratio of 12C3+/4He+ was provided by the 14.5 GHz Caprice ECR ion source for subsequent acceleration in the linear accelerator UNILAC and the synchrotron SIS18. Despite the mass difference between the 4He+ and 12C3+ ions, both could be slowly extracted simultaneously at 225 MeV/u using the transverse knock-out extraction scheme. The ion beam has been finally characterized in the biophysics cave in terms of beam composition (particularly inter- and intra-spill He fraction), depth-dose-profiles, beam size, position and other parameters, all related to combined ion beam treatment and online monitoring. Utilizing high-speed particle radiography techniques, a fast extracted mixed ion beam has also been characterized in the plasma physics cave under conditions favorable to FLASH therapy.
