An object of the present invention is to increase sensitivity and position resolution of measurement of an arrival position of a charged particle beam irradiated during treatment. A beam monitoring system includes: a gamma ray detector that detects gamma rays generated by interaction between a charged particle beam and an irradiation target; a shield that is disposed between the gamma ray detector and an irradiation axis of the beam and has a plurality of slits; and a calculation unit that analyzes a detection result of the gamma ray detector and reconfigures a count distribution of the detected gamma rays into a distribution of the beam irradiation axis based on a geometric arrangement of the shield, the detector, and the irradiation axis of the beam. The calculation unit obtains the arrival position of the particle beam from the reconfigured distribution.
