Disclosed here is a cyclotron having a beam phase selector capable of
controlling phase widths of beams and improving beam permeability for
increasing beam current. The cyclotron contains an acceleration voltage
applying section and a beam blocking section, at least any one of the two
sections has a movable structure. While a particle is passing across a
gap between dee electrodes, the acceleration voltage applying section
applies RF acceleration voltage to the particle, and further applies RF
acceleration voltage having a phase different from the phase of
previously applied RF acceleration voltage. The beam blocking section
blocks undesired particles. Preferably, the acceleration voltage applying
section at least has an electrode having an opening in a direction of the
core of the cyclotron. Also preferably, operations on phase-width control
can be performed outside the cyclotron, with vacuum condition in the
cyclotron maintained.
