Method and system for remote monitoring of proton beam emitting and delivery system

Abstract:

A remote diagnostic monitoring of operating states for physical components of a particle accelerator system includes obtaining, by a processor at a first physical location, one or more operating states corresponding to one or more physical components associated with a particle emitting system and a particle delivery system each located at a second physical location remote from the first physical location, associating the operating states with corresponding operating indicators, generating a component hierarchy corresponding to a physical arrangement of the physical components of the particle emitting system and including the corresponding operating indicators, identifying a faulted physical component among the physical components, identifying fault path components among the physical components, the fault path components corresponding to a portion of the physical arrangement associated with the faulted physical component, modifying the operating indicators of the fault path components to fault state indicators, and presenting a fault monitor presentation including the operating indicators and a faulted component presentation portion corresponding to the fault state indicators.
