摘要： The invention relates to a particle accelerator for radiotherapy by means of ion beams (150). The particle accelerator comprises a sixfold synchrotron ring (100) with six rectilinear beam sections (1 to 6) and six curved beam sections (7 to 12). Injection means (43) for introducing a linear-accelerated ion beam into the synchrotron ring (100) are situated on a first rectilinear beam section (1) of the six rectilinear beam sections (1-6). At least one acceleration element (44) for the ion beam is located along the course of a second rectilinear beam section (5). Extraction means (45) for extracting the internal beam that has been rapidly accelerated during several revolutions are situated on a third (4) rectilinear beam section. Each curved beam section (7 to 12) comprises a pair of dipole magnets (13/14, 15/16, 17/18, 19/20, 21/22, 3/24). A horizontally defocusing quadrupole magnet (31 to 36) is located between each pair of dipole magnets (13/14, 15/16, 17/18, 19/20, 21/22, 23/24) and a horizontally focusing quadrupole magnet (25 to 30) is located upstream of each dipole magnet pair (13/14, 15/16, 17/18, 19/20, 21/22, 23/24).

摘要： The invention relates to a device and to a method for adjusting the range of an ion beam (10), particularly for irradiation in tumor therapy. For this purpose, first the reference position of a target volume (20) to be irradiated is determined. The range of the ion beam is set such that it is adjusted to the reference position of the target volume so that the Bragg maximum, which is to say the maximum energy loss and therefore also the maximum damage, is in the region of the target volume to be destroyed. If a change (21-23) of the reference position is detected by a movement of the target volume, the ion beam is deflected out of the beam axis (11) such that the ion beam is guided across different regions of a range modulator (2), thereby compensating for the positional change of the target volume as a result of the adjustment of the range of the ion beam and pushing the Bragg maximum back into the region of the target volume.
