1. A particle beam monitoring device comprising:

  • a reaction component configured to allow a primary particle beam to pass through the reaction component while creating secondary photons, wherein structural characteristics of the reaction component are balanced with energy loss characteristics of the reaction component, including selecting a thickness of the reaction component, wherein energy loss characteristics are based upon a comparison of energy of the primary particle beam before penetrating the reaction component and after penetrating the reaction component;

    a detection component that detects a characteristic of a portion of the plurality of secondary photons; and

    a primary particle beam characteristic determination component that correlates a characteristic of the secondary photons with a characteristic of the primary particle beam.
