Abstract

An accelerator includes: a plurality of ion sources, andthat generate a plurality of different types of ions; an electromagnetthat generates a magnetic field; and a high frequency cavitythat generates a high frequency electric field. The center of an orbit of the ion is eccentric with acceleration, the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetis a magnetic field distribution that decreases outward in a radial direction of the orbit, the high frequency cavityaccelerates the ion up to a predetermined energy by the high frequency electric field adjusted to an orbital frequency in response to a nuclide of the incident ion, and a frequency of the high frequency electric field changes following an energy of the ion. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an accelerator and a particle therapy system capable shortening an irradiation time with a small size.
