【 摘 要 】

The paper is about the electrostatic pickup installed in the Medium Energy Beam Transfer (MEBT) line of the CNAO (Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica), the Italian facility for oncological hadrontherapy. The MEBT Pickup (PUB) has been designed with the purpose of having a continuous and non-interceptive measurement of the horizontal and vertical beam position, close upstream the injection point in the synchrotron. Detector commissioning, data-analysis algorithm and first year measurements are discussed in the paper.
