Abstract: A magnetic field apparatus for a particle accelerator having a particle track having curved sections contains several magnetic field-generating windings, and at least one supplemental winding provided for focusing the electrically charged particles. The system does not require pre-accelerators and relatively large particle streams should be capable of being accelerated nevertheless to relatively high energy levels. In the region of at least one of the curved sections of the particle track, an azimuthal guiding field for the particles is generated by the supplemental winding during the acceleration phase. This supplemental winding is designed as an appropriately curved electric conductor arrangement which in part encloses the particle track and which is designed in the manner of a hollow channel open toward the outside. The conductor arrangement is appropriately structured for suppressing eddy currents and carries a current transversely to the particle track.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems, devices, and methods relate to initiating beam transport for an accelerator system. An example method includes increasing a bias voltage of one or more electrodes of the accelerator system to a first voltage level and extracting a charged particle beam from a beam source such that the beam is transported through the accelerator system. The beam has a beam current that results in a first transient voltage drop within a threshold. The method further includes increasing the beam current at a rate that results in one or more subsequent transient voltage drops within the threshold until the accelerator system has reached nominal conditions. Another example method includes biasing one or more electrodes of an accelerator system and selectively extracting, according to a duty cycle function, a charged particle beam from a beam source such that the charged particle beam is transported through the accelerator system.

Abstract: A linear accelerator comprises a plurality of cyclotrons arranged axially in a cyclotron stack, each cyclotron having a set of dees and a central aperture passing through the set of dees. Each central aperture is axially aligned with one another in the stack, forming a central channel having an inlet and an outlet that passes through the stack. Magnets are positioned so as to generate a magnetic field perpendicular to the set of dees. A power supply applies an oscillating voltage to each set of dees of the stack. In operation, subatomic particles are ejected radially outwardly of the stack, creating a dead zone within the central channel that is void of particles and electromagnetic fields. A mass or light beam is accelerated as it passes through the central channel's dead zone, due to the absence of frictional forces acting on the mass or light within the dead zone.
