The cyclotron laboratory for radioisotope production and multi-disciplinary research at the Bern University Hospital (Inselspital) features an IBA Cyclone 18 MeV proton cyclotron equipped with a Beam Transport Line (BTL), ending in a separate bunker. The horizontal and vertical transverse beam emittances were measured for the first time for this kind of accelerator. Two different techniques were used. A measurement based on quadrupole strength variation and beam width assessment after the last focusing section on the BTL was first performed. A second technique was developed employing 4 beam profilers located at successive positions around a beam waist. These novel beam profile detectors were developed by our group and are based on doped silica and optical fibers. For the data analysis, a statistical approach allowing for estimation of the RMS transverse emittance of a beam with an arbitrary density profile was applied. The results obtained with both methods were found to be in good agreement.
