    摘要: A method for detecting the position of the mass center of a passing-through beam of electric charges in a duct, having a passage section with a plurality of detection faces directed thereto is presented. The method includes: arranging couples of detecting elements, so that each couple detects a space area divided into two half-areas by an intermediate plane between the detecting elements of the respective couple; obtaining, from each detecting element, a signal thereby produced representing the distance thereof from the mass center to be detected; comparing the signals produced by each detecting element, by obtaining a digital signal showing the greater proximity of the mass center to one of the detecting element of the couple; and composing the digital signals produced by the couples of detecting elements, by identifying the cross-section of the beam of electric charges to which the mass center of the beam electric charges belongs.

    摘要: A method of generating electromagnetic fields comprises the step of using the interaction between a laser source and an appropriate target, as the source for generating high-intensity electromagnetic fields. A strong positive charge is generated in the target hit by the laser. The target has a structure consisting of at least two different elements. The method can be used to obtain the acceleration, deceleration, deflection, focusing or selection of moving charges. Such charges have been previously accelerated by a completely separate process, and therefore the two processes of pre-acceleration and subsequent processing of the beam of particles are completely separate and therefore separately tunable and optimizable Such electromagnetic fields can be used in other fields than those previously indicated, such as—merely by way of example—medicine, biology, studies on materials, electromagnetic compatibility, and generation of terahertz radiation.
