Abstract
A neutron capture therapy device includes an accelerator that generates a particle beam, a target that generates a neutron ray by reacting with the particle beam, a collimator that includes a hole portion penetrating in an irradiating direction of the neutron ray and forms an irradiation field of the neutron ray generated from the target, and a deceleration member that decelerates the neutron ray generated from the target, in which a part of the deceleration member is disposed in the hole portion of the collimator.
