Abstract
Abstract A charged beam apparatus comprises vacuum vessels for accommodating superconducting coils in a heat-insulating manner, a charged beam vacuum chamber that provides a passage for a charged beam, and a vacuum chamber for synchrotron radiation that is coupled to the charged beam vacuum chamber and through which is passed the synchrotron radiation that is produced by the charged beam when it is bent by the superconducting coils, the vacuum vessels being detachable from the charged beam vacuum chamber.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A charged beam apparatus, comprising: vacuum vessels for accommodating superconducting coils in a heat-insulating manner; a charged beam vacuum chamber providing a passage for a charged beam; and a vacuum chamber for synchrotron radiation that is coupled to said charged beam vacuum chamber and through which is passed the synchrotron radiation produced by said charged beam when it is bent by said superconducting coils, said vacuum vessels being detachable from said charged beam vacuum chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A charged beam apparatus, comprising: vacuum vessels for accommodating superconducting coils in a heat-insulating manner; a charged beam vacuum chamber providing a passage for a charged beam; and a vacuum chamber for synchrotron radiation that is coupled to said charged beam vacuum chamber and through which is passed the synchrotron radiation produced by said charged beam when it is bent by said superconducting coils, said vacuum vessels being detachable from said charged beam vacuum chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
A charged beam apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: cryogenic support member for connecting said superconducting coils in liquid helium containers through the walls of said containers; an expansible heat shield joint disposed around said cryogenic support members and coupling an upper and a lower heat shield; and an expansible vacuum joint disposed around said expansible heat shielding and coupling said vacuum vessels.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A charged beam apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a shield provided at both ends of each of said superconducting coils in order to block any leakage flux coming from said coils.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
55 words
A charged beam apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of magnetic pieces provided between each of said superconducting coils and said charged beam vacuum chamber in order to correct the magnetic flux distribution in said charged beam vacuum chamber such that it will be flat across said chamber in its radial direction.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A charged beam apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said magnetic pieces are fixed to the two principal surfaces of said charged beam vacuum chamber.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A charged beam apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said charged beam vacuum chamber is partly formed of a magnetic material in its cross section.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
43 words
A charged beam apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said magnetic pieces are formed of upper and lower pieces in such a manner that the distance between said upper and lower pieces varies in the radial direction of said charged beam vacuum chamber.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
61 words
A charged beam apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said magnetic pieces are disposed above and below the charged beam vacuum chamber in a manner that is symmetrical with respect to the horizontal plane through the center of said chamber but which is asymmetrical with respect to the center of an equilibrium orbit of the charged beam in its radial direction.
