ABSTRACT:
A magnetic field having an alternate component in a predetermined direction is produced in a zone and electrons are injected into this zone perpendicularly to said direction. To this end a winding is connected to a source for supplying current pulses having a predetermined duration. A split tube is placed coaxially within the winding and has an inner wall which provides periodic or nearly periodic variations. The split tube is formed of material having good electrical conductivity and has a skin thickness which is considerably smaller than the tube thickness at the frequency corresponding to the reciprocal of the time-duration of the current pulses.
