Abstract
Embodiments of systems, devices, and methods relating to a beam system. An example method of detecting beam misalignment a beam system includes detecting beam misalignment in an injector system of the beam system. The example method further includes detecting beam misalignment in an accelerator system of the beam system.

1-44. (canceled)
A method of detecting beam misalignment in an accelerator system, the method comprising:
- obtaining an input beam current at an input aperture of the accelerator system;
- obtaining an output beam current at an output aperture of the accelerator system;
- and
- determining that a beam propagating through the accelerator system is misaligned when a difference between the output beam current and the input beam current indicates beam losses exceeding a beam loss threshold.

A method of detecting beam misalignment in an accelerator system, the method comprising:
- obtaining an input beam current at an input aperture of the accelerator system;
- obtaining an output beam current at an output aperture of the accelerator system;
- and
- determining that a beam propagating through the accelerator system is misaligned when a difference between a current of the accelerator system and a sum of the output beam current and the input beam current is greater than zero.

A method of detecting beam misalignment in an accelerator system, the method comprising:
- obtaining a flow rate of coolant of a charge exchange cooling device of the accelerator system, an energy of particles striking a charge exchange device of the accelerator system, and a temperature difference of coolant between an inlet and an outlet of the charge exchange cooling device;
- and
- determining that a beam propagating through the accelerator system is misaligned when beam losses calculated based on the flow rate, energy, and temperature difference exceed a beam loss threshold.
