  • Patent number: 12114415
    Abstract: Provided is a variable energy and miniaturized accelerator. It is impossible to change the energy of the extraction beam in the related cyclotron or to miniaturize an accelerator in the related synchrotron. The accelerator includes a pair of magnets which form a magnetic field therebetween; an ion source which injects ions between the magnets; an acceleration electrode which accelerates the ions; and a beam extraction path which extracts the ions to the outside. A plurality of ring-shaped beam closed orbits formed by the pair of magnets, in which the ions of different energies respectively circulate, are aggregated on one side. The frequency of the radiofrequency electric field fed to the ions by the acceleration electrode is modulated by the beam closed orbits.

  • Publication number: 20240306286
    Abstract: As the ion beam is accelerated, the radii of the closed orbits gradually increase, and the centers thereof move in a direction approaching the peripheral edge portion along a predetermined radial direction of the cavity, and upon reversing the direction of movement, move further toward the center of the cavity. The intensity distribution in the orbital plane of the main magnetic field is designed to realize the foregoing feature. Thus, an accelerator is provided that is compact and that enables the energy of an extracted beam to be changed, that enhances the efficiency of beam injection into the accelerator from an external ion source, and that improves a dose rate of the resulting extracted ion beam.

  • Publication number: 20240244737
    Abstract: A dynamic magnetic field feed device feeds a magnetic field at predetermined timing to a predetermined region through which an ion beam having desired energy circulating in an acceleration space passes, and displaces a circular orbit of the ion beam having the desired energy. An extraction channel is arranged on an outer periphery of a magnetic pole. A position O1 where an ion introduction device introduces ions into the acceleration space is a position closer to the extraction channel relative to a center O2 of the magnetic pole. A region to which the dynamic magnetic field feed device feeds a magnetic field is a region closer to an opening of the extraction channel relative to the position O1 where ions are introduced, and the magnetic field to be fed is a magnetic field in a direction where the main magnetic field is strengthened.
