The present invention includes a magnetic storage ring into which electrons or other charged particles can be injected from a point external to the ring and still subscribe a path, after injection, contained within the magnetic storage ring. The magnetic storage ring consists of purely static (permanent) magnetic fields. The particles pass one or more times through a solid target that causes the high energy charged particles to emit radiation and damps the momentum of the particles, so that they cannot escape the magnetic field, allowing them to be captured therein. |

The present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus which are able to inject a large amount of charged particles to a circular accelerator. In order to inject a large number of charged particles, the charged particle beams are injected into a region of a vacuum duct other than the region which is defined as having a height equivalent to the height of the injected beam and a width from the injected point in the vacuum duct to the symmetrical point to the injected point with respect to the geometrical center of the vacuum duct. |

An electron storage ring has bending magnets, quadrupole magnets, and sextupole magnets arranged in a ring for constraining a beam of electrons along a path. When the beam is injected, a control means controls a power source for the magnet so that the beam has a high equilibrium emittance. This gives the beam a large dynamic aperture, simplifying beam injection. Once the beam has been injected, the field strengths of the magnets are varied to cause a reduction in the emittance to a low value, at which the beam is stored. Synchrotron radiation is generated which has a high brightness because the low emittance means the beam has a small diameter. During the reduction in equilibrium emittance, the betatron oscillation frequency is maintained on a stable operation region and the chromaticity is maintained substantially zero. |

A funnel for an ion accelerator comprises a magnetic lens in operative association with a resonator. Ions from different sources are accelerated to different predetermined energy levels and are separately aimed at the lens where the incoming ions are deflected into alignment along a common path. The resonator receives ions from the lens and respectively accelerates or decelerates ions having relatively lower or higher energy levels to establish a beam of ions having substantially the same energy level. |

In a modified Betatron a low density background plasma is maintained in the vacuum chamber causing image charges in response thereto to form in the chamber wall. These image charges cause the self forces of the electron beam being accelerated in the betatron to be directed inward in the polodial plane thus eliminating injection problems, the diamagnetic to paramagnetic transition, and the l=2 resistive wall instability. |

An apparatus is provided for increasing the intensities of heavy ion beams accelerated in isochronous cyclotrons at high harmonics (5th harmonic or greater) of the orbit frequency. The small intensities normally obtained at high harmonics are significantly increased by the addition of a dc ion extraction system to the cyclotron ion source. Use of the dc extraction system has increased beams of 40Ar3 on the 5th harmonic and 20Ne1 on the 7th harmonic from nanoamperes to microamperes.

HOGG HAROLD A |
An electron injector wherein a stream of electrons is emitted from a gridded thermionic emitter into a region between two electrodes. An electric field alternating at a microwave frequency is applied between the electrodes, and the electron stream leaves the thermionic emitter parallel to this field. A steady magnetic field is applied across the region in a direction that is transverse to the electric field. The combined effects of the microwave electric field and the steady magnetic field on the electron stream are such that the stream becomes focused into a bunch that follows a quasi-cycloidal orbit in which the electrons strike a secondary emitter from which an amplified bunch of electrons is emitted to follow a similar orbit, to be further focused into a bunch and to strike another secondary emitter. This process is repeated until the desired intensity is achieved whereupon the final bunch of electrons is injected into an electron accelerator during the final orbit.

Provided is a variable energy and miniaturized accelerator. It is impossible to change the energy of the extraction beam in the related cyclotron or to miniaturize an accelerator in the related synchrotron. The accelerator includes a pair of magnets which form a magnetic field therebetween; an ion source which injects ions between the magnets; an acceleration electrode which accelerates the ions; and a beam extraction path which extracts the ions to the outside. A plurality of ring-shaped beam closed orbits formed by the pair of magnets, in which the ions of different energies respectively circulate, are aggregated on one side. The frequency of the radiofrequency electric field fed to the ions by the acceleration electrode is modulated by the beam closed orbits. |

Embodiments of the present invention disclose methods and systems for performing particle acceleration using a cyclotron RF resonator with an asymmetrical fixed tuner. A cyclotron RF resonator includes a single shorting plate tuner inside and a fixed short stem, and does not require top-bottom mirror symmetry. Small movements in relation to the wavelengths of the maximum acceleration voltage is bound by the capacitance of the accelerating surfaces. As such, the resonator may perform particle acceleration using asymmetrical tuning to reduce design complexity, cost of maintenance, fabrication and installation complexity, failure rate, and software complexity (e.g., control software), for example. |
