Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
IN A METHOD FOR PRODUCING HIGH ENERGY BEAMS OF HEAVY IONS IN A SYNCHROTON, WHICH SYNCHROTON IS OF A CLASS HAVING A CYCLICALLY VARYING MAGNETIC FIELD DEFINING A PARTICLE ORBIT AND A CYCLICALLY VARYING ELECTRICAL FIELD THEREAT FOR ACCELERATING IONS THEREAROUND, THE STEPS COMPRISING GENERATING SAID IONS WITH A FIRST CHARGE-TO-MASS RATIO, ACCELERATING SAID IONS AT SAID ORBIT OF SAID SYNCHROTRON TO A FIRST ENERGY LEVEL DURING A FIRST CYCLE OF SAID MAGNETIC FIELD THEREOF, RAISING THE CHARGE-TO-MASS RATIO OF SAID IONS TO A SECOND HIGHER VALUE, AND FURTHER ACCELERATING SAID IONS AT SAID ORBIT IN SAID SYNCHROTON TO A SECOND HIGHER ENERGY LEVEL DURING A SUBSEQUENT CYCLE OF SAID MAGNETIC FIELD, SAID FURTHER ACCELERATION OF SAID IONS BEING PHASED WITH A HIGHE HARMONIC OF SAID ELECTRICAL FIELD THAN THE INITIAL ACCELERATION THEREOF.
