Transverse field focused system

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6844383
It is an object of the invention to provide a transport apparatus for a high current negative-ion beam which will bend the beam around corners through a baffled path in a differential pump or a neutron trap. It is another object of the invention to provide a transport apparatus for a high current negative-ion beam which will allow gas molecules in the beam to exit outwardly from the transport apparatus. A further object of the invention is to provide a multi-stage accelerator for a high current negative-ion beam which will enable acceleration of the beam to very high energy levels with a minimum loss of current carrying capacity. A still further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for transport or accelertion of a sheet beam of negative ions which is shaped to confine the beam against divergence or expansion.
