The three or more scanning magnets are configured such that the scanning magnets and the scanning magnets for scanning in the same direction between the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, are disposed in series on a progressing direction axis of a beam, and a volume of a magnetic field feeding region decreases as the scanning magnet is installed at a position farther from an isocenter on the progressing direction axis.

Abstract: Conventional cyclotrons have been incapable of changing energy of a beam to be extracted. Conventional synchrotrons have been difficult to output beams in a continuous manner. An accelerator has a dense region dense region in which orbits of different energies densely gather as a result of using a radiofrequency electric field to accelerate an ion orbiting in an isochronous magnetic field in order to cause a beam orbit to be displaced in a specific direction with increasing acceleration, and a sparse region in which orbits of different energies are sparsely discrete from each other. The accelerator has a feature that a magnetic field has a magnetic field gradient in a radial direction of a beam orbit in the dense region, and a product of a gradient of magnetic field gradient and a beam size passing through the dense region becomes smaller than the magnetic field gradient.

Abstract: Ion beams are efficiently extracted with an accelerator that includes a circular vacuum container including a pair of circular return yokes facing each other. Six magnetic poles are radially disposed from the injection electrode at the periphery thereof in the return yoke. Six recessions are disposed alternately with the respective magnetic poles in the circumferential direction of the return yoke. In the vacuum container, a concentric trajectory region, in which multiple beam turning trajectories centered around the injection electrode are present, is formed, and an eccentric trajectory region, in which multiple beam turning trajectories eccentric from the injection electrode are present, is formed around the region. In the eccentric trajectory region, the beam turning trajectories are dense between the injection electrode and the inlet of the beam extraction path. Gaps between the beam turning trajectories are wide in a direction 180° opposite to the inlet of the beam extraction path.
