1. A particle irradiation system, comprising:
- three or more scanning magnets that scan a beam in a first direction or a second direction, which are perpendicular to each other,wherein the three or more scanning magnets include a first scanning magnet, a second scanning magnet, a third scanning magnet and a fourth scanning magnet, which are disposed in a series along a progression direction of an axis of the beam toward an isocenter such that the second scanning magnet is disposed after the first scanning magnet, the third scanning magnet is disposed after the second scanning magnet and the fourth scanning magnet is disposed after the third scanning magnet,wherein the first scanning magnet and the second scanning magnet scan the beam in the first direction,wherein the third scanning magnet and the fourth scanning magnet scan the beam in the second direction, andwherein respective volumes of respective magnetic field feeding regions of the of the first scanning magnet, second scanning magnet, third scanning magnet and fourth scanning magnet increase in series from the first scanning magnet to the fourth scanning magnet.

Abstract
A particle irradiation system includes three or more scanning magnets that scan a beam in a vertical direction (first direction) or a horizontal direction (second direction) perpendicular to each other. The three or more scanning magnets are configured such that the scanning magnets and the scanning magnets for scanning in the same direction between the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, are disposed in series on a progressing direction axis of a beam, and a volume of a magnetic field feeding region decreases as the scanning magnet is installed at a position farther from an isocenter on the progressing direction axis.
