The design is given of a particle accelerator for obtaining high energy particle beams. The accelerator consists of a structure, one mirror or two mirrors with magnetic achromatic and stigmatic deviators, and a source of particles located at the entry of the accelerating structure. The annular shape allows the accelerated particles which have passed twice through the accelerating structure to cross the source. The axis of the source is coincidental with the axis of the accelerating structure. Magnetic fields are determined in such a manner that the mirrors totally reflect those particles having a predetermined energy level and totally transmit the particles having an energy level higher than this predetermined energy level.
