Abstract
Abstract Injector for an annular beam of monokinetic electrons in helical orbits having a high inclination angle relative to the axis of the helix of the type having an annular electron gun in a revolving vacuum enclosure. It comprises electrical coils which are able to create the cyclotron effect by a static magnetic field varying in progressive and continuous manner in accordance with the axis of the injector from a value B 1 in the actual gun zone up to a value B 3 in the contracted outlet zone of the injector passing through an intermediate value B 2 in the convergent connection zone between said gun zone and said outlet zone, and a correcting electrode located so as to be movable in accordance with the axis of the injector and which is raised to an electrical potential differing from that of the suction or extraction anode of said electron gun.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
An injector for an annular beam of monokinetic electrons in helical orbits having a high inclination angle relative to the axis of the helix of the type having an annular electron gun in a revolving vacuum enclosure, wherein it also comprises electrical coils which are able to create the cyclotron effect by a static magnetic field varying in progressive manner in accordance with the axis of the injector from a value B 1 in the actual gun zone up to a value B 3 in the contracted outlet zone of the injector passing through an intermediate value B 2 in the convergent connection zone between said gun zone and said outlet zone, and a correcting electrode located so as to be movable in accordance with the axis of the injector and which is raised to an electrical potential differing from that of the suction or extraction anode of said electron gun.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
An injector for an annular beam of monokinetic electrons in helical orbits having a high inclination angle relative to the axis of the helix of the type having an annular electron gun in a revolving vacuum enclosure, wherein it also comprises electrical coils which are able to create the cyclotron effect by a static magnetic field varying in progressive manner in accordance with the axis of the injector from a value B 1 in the actual gun zone up to a value B 3 in the contracted outlet zone of the injector passing through an intermediate value B 2 in the convergent connection zone between said gun zone and said outlet zone, and a correcting electrode located so as to be movable in accordance with the axis of the injector and which is raised to an electrical potential differing from that of the suction or extraction anode of said electron gun.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
An injector according to claim 1, wherein the correcting electrode is placed within the annular beam.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
An injector according to claim 1, wherein the correcting electrode is located on the injector axis close to the area of the gun.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
An injector according to claim 1, wherein the correcting electrode revolves about said gun area.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
An injector according to claim 4, wherein the correcting electrode is a conductive mass having a substantially ovoid shape.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
An injector according to claim 1, wherein the axial components of the magnetic fields B 1 and B 3 are in the same direction, each electron describing a helix whose axis is located in the annular zone covered by the beam.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
An injector according to claim 1, wherein the axial components of the magnetic fields B 1 and B 3 have opposite directions, each electron describing a helix which in eccentric manner surrounds the injector axis.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
45 words
An injector according to claim 4, wherein the potential of the correcting electrode, as well as its position are chosen so that the thickness of the helical annular beam is minimal and each electron describes a helix whose axis essentially coincides with the injector axis.
