Abstract (en)

[origin: US4293772A] A charged particle accelerator has an accelerator chamber in the interior of which a narrow beam of charged particles is accelerated. The particle beam is directed to a discharge window for discharging the particles therethrough. A device is provided for wobbling the beam of particles before the particles strike the discharge window, thereby enlarging the area where the particles strike the window. Preferably a magnetic wobbling device may be used. Such a device may have one or more magnetic coils which is/are arranged near the discharge window and which receive(s) a varying electric current. The accelerator may be a linear accelerator generating high energy electrons or X-rays for medical treatment.
