Abstract

Provided are: an accelerator control device, an accelerator control method, and a particle beam therapy device, by that generation of sharp peaks in wavebeam can be prevented even low-energy charged particle beam is ejected. According to some embodiments, an accelerator control device has a high-frequency power controller and a timing controller. The high-frequency power controller supplies high frequency power for accelerating a charged particle beam to an accelerator. The tinting controller controls an operation timing of a blocker that blocks the charged particle beam emitted from the accelerator based on a current value of the charged particle beam circulating in the accelerator.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an accelerator control device, an accelerator control method, and a particle beam therapy device. Background technique [0002] Usually, an accelerator for accelerating a charged particle beam to a desired energy is installed in a particle beam therapy apparatus. A radio-frequency acceleration cavity with a plurality of electrodes is provided in the accelerator. A particle beam therapy apparatus supplies high-frequency power to electrodes provided in a high-frequency acceleration cavity to accelerate a charged particle beam to a desired energy, and irradiates the accelerated charged particle beam to an affected part such as a tumor. [0003] However, immediately after the charged particle beam accelerated to a certain energy by the accelerator is emitted, a beam spike may occur in which the intensity of the charged particle beam exceeds a target value. Beam spikes tend to occur especially when low energy...
