  • Patent number: 7030577
    Abstract: A multi-channel undulation induction accelerator of charged particles, comprising an injector block, drive source, output systems, turning systems, and induction acceleration block, which is made in the form of at least two one-channel linear induction acceleration blocks (including those that are placed parallel with one to other), linked by means of turning systems, each of which connects an output of one of the one-channel linear induction acceleration blocks with an input of another, similar block. At least one of the turning systems is made in the form of a sequence of fragments of solenoid, which are joined with each other in such a manner that they form a working channel for the charged particle beam, which accomplish a 180° or less angle turn.

  • Patent number: 7012385
    Abstract: The invention addresses a multi-channel induction accelerator with external channels, which in its broadest form includes an injector block, a drive system, a block of output systems, and a multi-channel induction accelerative block. The multi-channel induction accelerative block is formed of an aggregate of linear induction acceleration blocks (including those that are placed parallel one with respect to the other), each acceleration block being formed from a sequence of linearly connected acceleration sections. Each acceleration section comprises one or more magnetic inductors enveloped by a conductive screening. One or more inner accelerative channels are placed axially within the inner parts of the conductive screening and have one or more azimuthally oriented slits. One or more channel electrodes are connected electrically with different parts of the inner parts of the conductive screening that are separated by the slit.

  • Patent number: 6653640
    Abstract: A linear induction accelerator, comprised of an injector block, acceleration block, the outlet device, and a drive source. The acceleration block is made from not less than two electrodynamically bound acceleration blocks of the single-channel linear induction accelerators, which are mutually oriented in such way that the direction of the electric field in any of the working channel is opposite to the electric field direction at least in one of the neighboring single-channel blocks of the single-channel linear induction accelerators. The invention allows a decrease of the real dimensions of the accelerator structure, increase of the electromagnetic compatibility level, technology and user safety, and a simplification of structure.

  • Patent number: 6433494
    Abstract: An improved device utilizing an inductive undulative EH-accelerator is proposed for acceleration and cooling of plasma fluxes, and beams of charged particles, and separate charged particles; and for forming of neutral molecular beams, and neutron beams (inductive undulative EH-accelerator) is proposed. The device consists of an electromagnetic undulation system, whose driving system for electromagnets, is made in the form of a radio frequency (RF) oscillator operating in the frequency range from about 100 KHz to 10 GHz; which is connected with coils of the undulatve system of electromagnets, and a source of accelerated particles, which is provided in the form of source of plasma or neutral molecular beams, or positive or negative ions, or charged particle beams, or separate charged particles.
