Work involved the preparation of 255 energies in clinical range (60 - 250 MeV) for one spill length, one spot size and 4 intensity levels. After resonant slow extraction, the beam crosses four different functional areas in the High Energy Beam Transfer Line (HEBT): the dispersion suppressor (DS), the phase shifter stepper (PSS), two straight extension modules and a deflection module to IR3. Quadrupole-variation methods were applied to center the beam in the beamline. The DS section was commissioned to provide high intensity beams with closed dispersion. The PSS section was commissioned to provide symmetric and minimal spot sizes at the iso-center in the room (after scattering in the nozzle and air). The definition of the 255 clinical energies was given by the Medical Physics team after measuring the beam ranges at the iso-center.
