	At HIMAC synchrotron, two kinds of slow-extraction method have been developed and utilized: third-order resonant slow-extraction and that with RF-knockout, not only for ion therapy but also for physics and biological experiments. Thus, the improvements of the extracted beam quality have also been carried out in both methods. One of the improvements is the global spill control. The global spill is improved owing to analytical approach in both methods. Cooperating with the feedback system, the flat spill is easily obtained without gain control of the feedback during the extraction. On the other hand, the effect of longitudinal motion for the bunched beam was studied to suppress the frequency component of the synchrotron oscillation in the spill ripple. Further, the transport of the extracted beam is readjusted for controlling the beam size. In this paper, recent improvement of slow-extraction at HIMAC is presented.

	Since 1994, the clinical trial at HIMAC has been successfully being progressed and more than 1,700 patients have treated with carbon ions. Owing to the good result of HIMAC, several medical groups in Japan have strongly required the carbon therapy facility. Based on the development of accelerator and the irradiation technologies for 10 years, therefore, we started to design a carbon therapy facility in Japan. The accelerator complex for the facility consists of two ECR ion sources with permanent magnets, an injector linac cascade (RFQ+IH) with the energy of 4 MeV/n, a synchrotron ring with the maximum energy of 400 MeV/n and beam delivery system for three treatment rooms. The R&D for the new facility has been already approved and will be started from April 2004. We will describe the conceptual design of the new facility.
