    Abstract: A METHOD FOR VARYING THE DIAMETER OF A BEAM OF CHARGED PARTICLES of the Invention In the bombardment of targets with beams of charged particles, a method for varying and controlling the diameter of such beams by passing the beam through an envelope of conductive material; the envelope is spaced from and coaxial with the beam. A selected D.C. potential is applied to the envelope, and the beam diameter is controlled by changing this applied potential in a direction away from ground potential to increase the beam diameter or by changing the potential in a direction toward ground potential to decrease said beam diameter.
