Abstract
A method for the repeatable generation and guidance of intensive, large-area ion, electron and x-ray beams, with the beam guidance being effected already in the beam generator by means of operationally variable, magnetic and electric fields and variable magnetic correction fields, wherein the beam guidance fields are generated by the beam current itself and the magnetic correction fields by the current source associated with the beam generator.
Claims30
In a method for the repeatable generation and guidance of an intensive, large-area charged particle beam, including:
- applying a pulsed current from a current source to an ion diode particle beam generator, and effecting the beam guidance in the beam generator by means of operationally variable, magnetic and electric fields;
- the improvement comprising:
- providing a self-focussing diode beam generator;
- generating the beam guidance fields in the beam generator by the beam current itself;
- and generating the desired magnetic correction fields by the current supplied to the beam generator.
