Abstract
A new method is described for injecting charged particles across a magnetic field, in which an electrostatic reflector (bouncer) reverses the direction of the ions after they travel around a half orbit in the magnetic field. This method can be used for radial injection of charged particles into a cyclotron, or into a plasma confined by a magnetic field.
