    摘要: An accelerator includes: a main magnetic field magnet that has a plurality of magnetic poles and excites the main magnetic field in a space interposed between the magnetic poles; a magnetic channel that extracts the ion beam from an inside of the main magnetic field magnet toward an outside of the main magnetic field magnet; a displacement unit that displaces the ion beam circulating in a main magnetic field region to an outer side of the main magnetic field region; and a disturbance magnetic field region that is provided in an outer peripheral portion of the main magnetic field region and excites a magnetic field which disturbs the ion beam displaced to the outer side and guides the ion beam to the magnetic channel, the magnetic channel including a predetermined mechanism that suppresses a magnetic field gradient generated radially inward in the circulating ion beam region.

    摘要: An example particle therapy system includes: a particle accelerator to output a beam of charged particles; and a scanning system to scan the beam across at least part of an irradiation target. An example scanning system includes: a scanning magnet to move the beam during scanning; and a control system (i) to control the scanning magnet to produce uninterrupted movement of the beam over at least part of a depth-wise layer of the irradiation target so as to deliver doses of charged particles to the irradiation target; and (ii) to determine, in synchronism with delivery of a dose, information identifying the dose actually delivered at different positions along the depth-wise layer.

    摘要: The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and system for controlling the extraction of ion beam pulses produced by a synchrocyclotron. The synchrocyclotron comprises electrodes configured to be placed in a magnetic field. An alternating voltage is applied between the electrodes, and the frequency of the alternating voltage is modulated in a cyclic manner. In other embodiments, the method further comprises the steps of starting an acceleration cycle of the synchrocyclotron, generating a reference signal when the modulated frequency reaches a predefined value, communicating the time, at which the reference signal is generated, to the beam control elements, assessing one or more status parameters of the one or more beam control elements, and cancelling or proceeding with the extraction of the beam pulse depending on the results of the assessment.
