Particle beam irradiation apparatus

A particle beam irradiation apparatus comprising:

• (1) rotary particle beam irradiation means comprising:
• particle beam circular acceleration means having particle beam generation means for generating a particle beam, said particle beam circular acceleration means generating a magnetic field through which the generated particle beam is accelerated, circularly accelerating the particle beam, and emitting a resultant particle beam;
• beam transport means for transporting the accelerated particle beam;
• irradiation field formation means for forming the particle beam into any desired shape and irradiating a first irradiated body with the particle beam;
• and means for rotating said particle beam circular acceleration means, said beam transport means, and said irradiation field formation means as a unit;
• wherein said first irradiated body is placed in a rotary irradiation room accommodating said first irradiated body on the rotation axis of said rotation means;
• and
• (2) at least one fixed irradiation room, each comprising:
• fixed beam transport means that can be connected to said beam transport means of said rotary particle beam irradiation means;
• and fixed irradiation field formation means for forming the particle beam into any desired shape and irradiating a second irradiated body, placed within said at least one fixed irradiation room, with the particle beam.
