  • Patent number: 7365348
    Abstract: An adjusting device of an apparatus for generating a beam of charged particles, wherein said beam is for interacting with a target and wherein said adjusting device comprises interface means for receiving, from a user of the apparatus, a set of desired values of characteristics of the beam of charged particles; means for determining a set of nominal values of adjusting parameters of the apparatus, corresponding to said characteristics and for passing them to the apparatus; means for measuring said adjusting parameters of the apparatus, and for computing corresponding values of said characteristics of the beam; and means for determining whether a correction of said values of adjusting parameters is necessary.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2007
    Date of Patent: April 29, 2008
    Assignee: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
    Inventors: Jacques Gierak, Peter Hawkes
