  An en­ergy sweep­ing com­pact rapid cy­cling hadron ther­apy based on a fast cy­cling in­duc­tion syn­chro­tron has been pro­posed by KEK and SAMEER as the next gen­er­a­tion of hadron ther­apy ma­chine *. For en­ergy sweep ex­trac­tion, a C+5 beam is in­jected, cap­tured and trapped in the bar­rier bucket. A frac­tion of the beam is con­tin­u­ously re­leased from the bar­rier bucket by con­trol­ling the tim­ing of bar­rier pulse gen­er­a­tion. Re­leased C+5 ions merge into the coast­ing beam and moves in­wards with ramp­ing of the guid­ing main mag­nets. Ions in the coast­ing beam even­tu­ally hit the car­bon foil placed in­side the beam cham­ber wall. As a re­sult, C+5 is con­verted to C+6 and beam orbit is largely changed as it tra­verses through the down­stream bend­ing mag­net. This no­tably fa­cil­i­tates C+6 beam ex­trac­tion, re­sult­ing in a rel­a­tively small kick angle of the sep­tum mag­net. When the sep­tum is ex­cited in the same way as that of the main mag­nets, the ex­tracted C+6 beam al­ways places on the cen­ter of the ir­ra­di­a­tion beam line. LISE++ sim­u­la­tions demon­strated the charge ex­change ef­fi­ciency of al­most 100 % for ex­pected beam en­ergy. The fea­si­bil­ity of the switch­ing power sup­ply for the sep­tum mag­net has been stud­ied.
