An extractive electrode allowing to reduce the vertical focusing and defocusing effect of the hyperfrequency electrical field used for accelerating the particles of a beam within an accelerator of cyclotron type. The extractive electrode comprises a metallic block having a substantially prismatic shape and provided in its entry face facing the particle source with at least a window which opens onto a deep notch delimited by two curved lateral walls forming a channel C for the passage of the beam. A median element located within this channel C allows to obtain two separated channels for the passage of the two beams corresponding to two harmonic operating frequencies.

Extractive electrode situated in the vicinity of the particle source of

A magnetic correcting device for locally modifying the strength of the magnetic field of a cylcotron in the zone of extraction of the accelerated particles to promote the extraction function and to ensure a suitable focusing of the emergent beam. In one embodiment, the device comprises a block of prismatic shape made of a composite laminated material formed by a stack of plates P.sub.1 and P.sub.2 of different permeabilities. The plates P.sub.1 are for example made of cobalt steel and those P.sub.2 of an non-magnetic material (copper for example).

Device for the magnetic correction of the trajectories of a beam of

A high-frequency focusing device making it possible to achieve suitable horizontal and vertical focusing of a beam of charged particles issued from a particle source located substantially at the center of a cyclotron, this device comprising pairs of focusing electrodes fixed to the edges of parallel plates forming each sector-shaped Dees of the cyclotron, each pair of electrodes being arranged in such a manner that the particle beam passes between them, these electrodes which project into the acceleration space e of the cyclotron, making it possible to compensate for lack or excessive vertical focusing brought about by the magnetic field developed in the acceleration space e.
