Abstract
Apparatus for accelerating and transporting a charged particle beam. The apparatus has a housing which encases an accelerating structure as well as a magnet system. The accelerating structure accelerates an injected charged particle beam within a first evacuated space and directs the beam into the magnet system which transports it along a bent beam path within a second evacuated space. Both spaces are separate from each other and the magnet system is supported within the housing such that it can be angularly adjusted with respect to the accelerating structure. In a preferred embodiment, the second evacuated spaced is partially defined by magnet poles of the magnet system and filled with helium under a pressure of higher than 10.sup.-2 torr.
