Abstract
A particle accelerator for obtaining high energy particle beams, comprises an accelerating structure S.sub.A, one mirror or two mirrors constituted with magnetic achromatic and stigmatic deviators and a source K of particles located at the entry of the accelerating structure S.sub.A and having an annular shape allowing the accelerated particles having passed twice through the accelerating structure S.sub.A to cross the source K, the axis of the source K being coincidental with the axis of the accelerating stucture S.sub.A. Magnetic fields are determined in such a manner that the mirrors totally reflect the particles having a predetermined energy level and totally transmit the particles having an energy level higher than this predetermined energy level.
