A method for creating a first data set for modifying an irradiation plan parameter data set used for controlling an irradiation system for irradiating a target volume in an irradiation volume using an ion beam includes defining a sensitive volume within the biological material to be irradiated, determining a fluence distribution of the ion beam, determining a microscopic dose distribution of the ion beam, determining, from the microscopic dose distribution of the ion beam, a spatial microscopic damage distribution of the ion beam, determining an expected value for a number of correlated damage events in a sub-micrometer range in the sensitive volume from the spatial microscopic damage distribution of the ion beam in the sensitive volume, determining the effect of the ion beam on the biological material, and storing data that indicate the effect of the ion beam on the material.

Method for determining an effect of a particle beam on a material

An ion beam therapy system and method for operating the system includes a source of ions ( ), an accelerator system ( ) and an ion beam transport system ( ) for directing an ion beam to a plurality of treatment stations ( ) to treat patients. The ion beam transport system ( ) includes a gantry ( ) carrying a vertical deflection system ( ) and horizontal deflection system ( ) positioned upstream from a last bending magnet (65) so as to provide a parallel scanning mode by an edge focusing effect.
