CHARGED PARTICLE ACCELERATOR AND CHARGED PARTICLE ACCELERATING METHOD

摘要

Provided is a charged particle accelerator that can be designed and produced more easily than conventional linear accelerators and with which it is possible to obtain an accelerating current of an arbitrary intensity. This charged particle accelerator comprises a plurality of charged particle accelerating units that are made up of accelerating electrodes lined up along respective travel trajectories, the charged particle accelerator being configured in a manner such that a plurality of ion beams emitted from an ion emitting unit can be accelerated in synchronization with one another by the respective charged particle accelerating units.
