Abstract: Ion implantation systems and beamline assemblies therefor are provided, in which multi-cusped magnetic fields are provided in a beamguide and the beamguide is energized to provide microwave electric fields in a traveling wave along the beamguide passageway. The magnetic and electric fields interact to provide an electron-cyclotron resonance condition for beam containment in the beamguide passageway.
