Abstract

A high-frequency focusing device making it possible to achieve suitable horizontal and vertical focusing of a beam of charged particles issued from a particle source located substantially at the center of a cyclotron, this device comprising pairs of focusing electrodes fixed to the edges of parallel plates forming each sector-shaped Dees of the cyclotron, each pair of electrodes being arranged in such a manner that the particle beam passes between them, these electrodes which project into the acceleration space e of the cyclotron, making it possible to compensate for lack or excessive vertical focusing brought about by the magnetic field developed in the acceleration space e.
