Continuous ion beam kinetic energy dissipater apparatus and method of use thereof
First Claim
1. An apparatus for reducing positively charged particles, comprising:
- an accelerator configured to deliver the positively charged particles along a beam transport line into a nozzle system, said nozzle system comprising;
a first chamber configured to hold a first liquid in a beam path of the positively charged particles;
a second chamber configured to hold a second liquid in the beam path of the positively charged particles; and
a computer controlled motor configured to move said first chamber and said second chamber with said nozzle system,wherein the first liquid and the second liquid reduce the kinetic energy of the positively charged particles during use.

Abstract
The invention comprises a method and apparatus for slowing positively charged particles, comprising the steps of: (1) transporting the positively charged particles from an accelerator, along a beam transport line, and into a nozzle system; (2) placing a first liquid in a first chamber in a beam path of the positively charged particles; (3) placing a second liquid in a second chamber in the beam path of the positively charged particles; (4) moving the first and second chamber with the nozzle system; (5) slowing the positively charged particles using the first liquid and the second liquid; (6) moving the first chamber in a first direction to yield a longer first pathlength of the positively charged particles through the first chamber; and (7) moving the second chamber opposite the first direction to yield a longer second pathlength of the positively charged particles through the second chamber.

10. A method for slowing positively charged particles, comprising the steps of:
-
transporting the positively charged particles from an accelerator, along a beam transport line, and into a nozzle system; placing a first liquid in a first chamber and in a beam path of the positively charged particles; placing a second liquid in a second chamber and in the beam path of the positively charged particles; moving, with a motor under computer control, said first chamber and said second chamber with said nozzle system; and slowing the positively charged particles using the first liquid and the second liquid. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
