Abstract
Abstract Periodic permanent magnet structures comprise a plurality of segments of nsversely sliced or truncated hollow cylindrical flux sources each of which produces a uniform high-field in its central cavity. Each flux source has an axial tunnel through its magnetic poles. The sources are arranged linearly with adjacent flux sources in peripheral edge contact with their magnetic fields in alignment so as to form a continuous channel through which a beam of charged particles can travel. Superconducting sheets cover the end faces of each of the sliced flux sources.
