Abstract
To provide an accelerator that easily provides a space for placing equipment incorporated into an accelerator magnet, and that has a dense region with small turn separations of beams and a sparse region with large turn separations of the beams in different positions in the beam orbit direction. A pair of magnetic poles (8, 9) has a depression structure of a plurality of depression and projection structures, in a position intersecting with a vertical plane (3). A boundary surface (41, 44, 45, 48) between the depression structure (21, 23) placed in a position intersecting with the vertical plane (3) and a projection structure (31, 32, 33, 34) adjacent to the depression structure has unanimously either a projection shape or a depression shape with respect to the vertical plane (3).
Claims5
An accelerator, having a pair of cores formed in disk shape, a pair of magnetic poles fixed to circular surfaces of the cores, a pair of coils placed around the magnetic poles,
- having a space between the pair of the magnetic poles for circulating and accelerating ion beams,
- wherein the pair of the magnetic poles has a plurality of depression and projection structures arranged along orbits of the ion beams circulating, and the magnetic poles are plane-symmetric with respect to an orbit plane created by the orbits of the ion beams circulating as well as plane-symmetric with respect to one of vertical planes perpendicular to the orbit plane,
- the pair of the magnetic poles has a depression structure of the plurality of depression and projection structures, in a position intersecting with the vertical plane, and a boundary surface between the depression structure placed in the position intersecting with the vertical plane and a projection structure adjacent to the depression structure has unanimously either a projection shape or a depression shape with respect to the vertical plane.
