Liquid-film electron stripper
This patent describes an improved liquid-film electron stripper for high intensity heavy ion beams comprising: at least one rotatable disc mounted in a housing, means for rotating the disc, a liquid reservoir operatively connected to the housing, means for directing liquid from the reservoir onto the rotatable disc for forming a film of liquid as liquid is spun from the disc, the disc being configured to define a sharp edge located at one side of the periphery of the disc, and configured to include a flat, smooth radially outer section located adjacent the sharp edge, the liquid being directed onto the flat, smooth section of the disc, the means for directing liquid onto the disc including a nozzle positioned with respect to the disc so that liquid from the nozzle impinges at about a 90/sup 0/ angle with respect to the flat, smooth surface of the disc, and liquid film terminator means located in spaced relation to the disc and approximately perpendicular to a formed liquid film, the terminator means comprising at least one ribbon of material secured to the housing.
