Magnetic mirror for beams of charged particles accelerated in an accelerator

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6463731
A magnetic mirror enabling a beam F of charged particles to be reflected along its incident path whatever the value W of the momentum of said particles is disclosed. This magnetic mirror includes a first magnetic deflector having polepieces of circular shape, a second and a third magnetic deflector provided respectively with pairs of polepieces arranged symmetrically with regard to an axis xx coinciding with the mean incident path of the beam F, the entry and exit face of these polepieces being determined in such a way that the beam F emerging from the second magnetic deflector is perpendicular to the symmetry axis of the mirror and that the vertical divergence of the beam is compensated.
