HIMAC, Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba, has been in operation since 1994. More than 2000 cancer patients have been treated with carbon beams from HIMAC. Requirements for therapeutical beam and recent development of the beam delivery will be reported together with research utilization of ion beams.

The optical matching between the ring and the transport line plays important role in order to control the beam size and profile after the transport. At HIMAC, thus, we have studied the optical matching of the slowly extracted beam. As a result, it was verified that the beam size of the slowly extracted beam were controlled owing to the optical matching. It was also found that small deviation of quadrupole strength in the ring brings orbit distortion at the transport system.
