Method and device for changing the direction of movement of a beam of accelerated charged particles
Abstract:
A method and a device for changing direction of movement of a beam of accelerated charged particles are based on the use of a curved channel which is made from a material that is able to be electrically charged, and formation of the same kind of charge on an inside surface of the channel wall as that of the particles. Maintenance of a condition that relates an energy and a charge of the particles to geometrical parameters of the channel is required, in particular, a radius R of curvature of a longitudinal axis thereof, and to electrical strength of the wall material. The beam can possibly be rotated through large angles without loss of intensity, significantly simplifying a design, and also reducing the mass and dimensions of all devices, particularly by obviating a need for magnets and supply voltage and control voltage sources for such devices.
