Abstract
Abstract A neutral beam injector comprising a neutralizing cell for neutralizing charged particles, and a direct converter for recovering the energy of unneutralized charged particles passed through the neutralizing cell. The direct converter comprises a collector for collecting charged particles, a deflector which is interposed between the neutralizing cell and the collector in order to cross and diverge beams of the charged particles, a first electron suppressor interposed between the neutralizing cell and the deflector, and a second electron suppressor disposed behind the collector.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A neutral beam injector comprising: means for generating charged particles; a neutralizing cell for neutralizing charged particles; and a direct converter for recovering the energy of unneutralized charged particles passed through said neutralizing cell, said direct converter having means for collecting charged particles, deflecting means, interposed between said neutralizing cell and said means for collecting charged particles, for crossing and diverging beams of the charged particles, first electron suppressing means interposed between said neutralizing cell and said deflecting means, and second electron suppressing means arranged behind said collecting means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A neutral beam injector comprising: means for generating charged particles; a neutralizing cell for neutralizing charged particles; and a direct converter for recovering the energy of unneutralized charged particles passed through said neutralizing cell, said direct converter having means for collecting charged particles, deflecting means, interposed between said neutralizing cell and said means for collecting charged particles, for crossing and diverging beams of the charged particles, first electron suppressing means interposed between said neutralizing cell and said deflecting means, and second electron suppressing means arranged behind said collecting means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A neutral beam injector according to claim 1, wherein said deflecting means comprises a first deflecting electrode which is set at a potential higher than a potential at said means for collecting charged particles.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
A neutral beam injector according to claim 2, wherein said deflecting means further comprises a second deflecting electrode which is interposed between said means for collecting charged particles and said first deflecting electrode and which is set at a potential lower than the potential of said means for collecting charged particles.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A neutral beam injector according to claim 2 or 3, wherein a central axis of said first deflecting electrode is shifted from a central axis of a neutral beam.
