Abstract
Abstract This device makes it possible to secure a major improvement in the efficiency of particle accelerators of the isochronous cyclotron type. It comprises a soft magnetic yoke, two circular soft-iron plates protuding from said yoke, first and second sets of soft magnetic sectors facing each other and building up the main airgap of the device, these sectors being respectively carried by two plates, two annular spacings being respectively provided between the sectors and their carrying plate, and correcting magnetic means being positioned within said annular spacings.
