Accelerator and particle therapy system

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to prevent disappearance of ions supplied to an accelerator. An eccentric trajectory type accelerator 1 includes a laser source 12 and a target 20 that emits ions by being irradiated with a laser beam emitted from the laser source 12. The eccentric trajectory type accelerator 1 includes a container 10 that forms a columnar space therein, an acceleration electrode structure that accelerates ions in a circumferential direction of the columnar space, and a main coil 38 that generates a magnetic field in an axial direction of the columnar space, and accelerates the ions emitted from the target 20. The target 20 is disposed at a position away from a central axis of the columnar space.
