Abstract

A method for the repeatable generation and guidance of intensive, large-area ion, electron and x-ray beams, with the beam guidance being effected already in the beam generator by means of operationally variable, magnetic and electric fields and variable magnetic correction fields, wherein the beam guidance fields are generated by the beam current itself and the magnetic correction fields by the current source associated with the beam generator.
