Abstract

The present invention is a method to enhance accuracy of irradiation with beam for an irradiation system with a beam. The irradiation system comprises a beam generation source, a mass analysis device, a beam transformer, a scanner which swings the beam reciprocally with high speed, a beam parallelizing device, an acceleration/deceleration device, an energy filtering device, and beam monitors. The beam transformer comprises a vertically focusing synchronized quadrupole electromagnet syQD and a horizontally focusing synchronized quadrupole electromagnet syQF. Consequently, it is possible to correct at least one of a deviation in beam divergence angle and a deviation in beam size within a range between a center trajectory and an outer trajectory after swinging of the beam by the scanner.
