1. A method for verifying the energy of a particle beam in a particle therapy system, the method comprising:

  • accelerating charged particles to a predefined energy in an acceleration apparatus of the particle therapy system,forming a particle beam from the charged particles and guiding the particle beam to an irradiation room of the particle therapy system using a transport apparatus,deflecting the particle beam using at least one magnet,measuring a position of the particle beam in a direction having a component perpendicular to the beam direction, andverifying an actual energy of the particle beam using the measured position.
