1. A method for determining a charged particle beam state, comprising the steps of:

  • extracting positively charged particles from a synchrotron;

    transporting the positively charged particles from said synchrotron through a nozzle and at least into a patient;

    imaging first photons to form a first signal, the first photons resultant from the positively charged particles transmitting through a first light emitting element on a first sheet;

    imaging second photons to form a second signal, the second photons emitted from a second light emitting element upon the positively charged particles traversing through the second light emitting element on a second sheet, said second sheet parallel to said first sheet and not intersecting said first sheet;

    determining a first vector of the positively charged particle beam path using the first signal and the second signal.
