Particle beam application apparatus, radiation device and method for guiding a particle beam

Abstract

The present embodiments relate to a particle beam application apparatus for shaping and guiding a particle beam. The particle beam application apparatus comprises a first collimator for shaping a cross-sectional profile of a particle beam entering the collimator, whereby the first collimator has an aperture which is customized to a target volume to be irradiated, and a magnet system for deflecting the particle beam which is arranged in the beam path of the particle beam downstream of the first collimator, whereby the magnet system can be used to generate a magnetic field with which the particle beam can be fanned out spectrally. The invention also relates to a radiation device having such a particle beam application apparatus, and a method for guiding a particle beam in which a particle beam is customized to a target volume by means of a collimator and is then directed by means of a magnet system, as a result of which the particle beam is cleansed of scattered radiation.
