Problems solved by technology

However, the set current value of the scanning electromagnet calculated by this theoretical formula is a theoretical value obtained on the premise that the specifications of the scanning electromagnet, the scanning power supply, and the specification of the irradiation particle beam are completely unchanged. However, due to In reality, it will change due to various reasons, so the irradiation position may be shifted, resulting in wrong irradiation
[0004] For example, since scanning electromagnets are generally bipolar electromagnets, there will be a residual magnetic field even though the current supplied to the electromagnet is zero due to the hysteresis of the electromagnet, which may cause The beam irradiation position is offset from the set position
In addition, due to the aging of some other equipment, the beam irradiation position may shift even though the irradiation is performed under the same conditions.

Abstract

The invention aims to provide a particle ray irradiating device. The particle ray irradiating device can calculate control instruction values and improve irradiating position accuracy without using IF conditional sentences (conditional expressions for differentiating conditions). The particle ray irradiating device comprises an inverse mapping unit, wherein the inverse mapping unit is provided with an inverse mapping mathematic model which generates instruction values, for achieving irradiation, of a scanning electromagnet based on target irradiating position coordinates of charged particle beams of an irradiated objective, and according to the instruction values generated by using the inverse mapping mathematic model based on the target irradiating position coordinates of the charged particle beams of the irradiated objective, the scanning electromagnet is controlled to scan the charged particle beams to irradiate the charged particle beams to the irradiated objective.
