ABSTRACT:
A method and means for accelerating charged particle beams having very high current densities to relativistic energies, as, for example, embodied in a betatron capable of carrying a current of many tens of kiloamperes at energies up to at least 300 Mev. The basic principle underlying the present invention is the containment of a beam of charged particles, more particularly a beam of electrons, by a magnetic field directed along the beam. As the strength of the magnetic field is increased as a function of time the beam of electrons becomes compressed in the direction transverse to the beam into a region of high charge density. The electrons may then be accelerated along the direction of the magnetic field to form an ultra-relativistic beam. At such high energies the beam tends to be stable and the containing magnetic field is no longer necessary. The magnetic field may therefore be permitted to decay.
