Original Abstract Submitted
As the ion beam is accelerated, the radii of the closed orbits gradually increase, and the centers thereof move in a direction approaching the peripheral edge portion along a predetermined radial direction of the cavity, and upon reversing the direction of movement, move further toward the center of the cavity. The intensity distribution in the orbital plane of the main magnetic field is designed to realize the foregoing feature. Thus, an accelerator is provided that is compact and that enables the energy of an extracted beam to be changed, that enhances the efficiency of beam injection into the accelerator from an external ion source, and that improves a dose rate of the resulting extracted ion beam.
