Abstract
A particle beam irradiation apparatus includes an accelerator that extracts a pulse-shaped particle beam and a switching system that switches a particle beam to prevent irradiation of a subject. The apparatus also includes a database in which a time dependency of the number of particles in one pulse of the particle beam is stored in association with a driving condition of the accelerator. A computer processor calculates a timing of switching by the switching system, based on a desired accumulated number of particles to be irradiated onto the irradiation subject and the time dependency of the number of particles in one pulse of the particle beam, and a switching controller controls the switching system based on the timing of switching calculated by the computer processor.
