Parametric focusing of intense ion beams

  • 1. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D. C. 20375

Description

Focusing of charge- and current-neutralized intense ion beams is accomplished by propagating the beam along a spatially periodic axial magnetic field. This focusing results in local variations in the beam radius and density. At one location, the measured particle density is enhanced over the emitted density by at least a factor of 4. Current density enhancements in excess of an order of magnitude using this method should be obtainable
