ABSTRACT:
A device for irradiating a target by a charged hadron beam, which may find application in hadron therapy. The device includes corpuscular optics designed to make the density of the beam uniform, along at least one direction perpendicular to the trajectory of the beam, and a three-dimensional control for the irradiation.
