The modified betatron accelerator

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6383443

The present invention is directed toward a modified betatron design. Betatron accelerators generally comprise an annular or toroidal vacuum chamber with a time-varying magnetic field, referred to as the betatron field, disposed relative to the toroidal chamber for the purpose of accelerating charged particles injected in the chamber. Typically, the strength of this betatron field is designed to be maximal along the major axis of the toroid and is designed to decrease with radial distance. Accordingly, electrons injected tangentially are accelerated at a constant radius by this betatron field into a privileged orbit known as the betatron orbit.
