Abstract

A ribbon-shaped ion beam having an elongate cross-section normal to a beam direction is modified by generating, at a predetermined position along the ribbon-shaped beam, a magnetic field extending in an x-direction along an x-axis. The x-direction magnetic field has a non-uniform intensity which is a desired function of x.
