Patent ID: 8373146

Claim:
An apparatus for accelerating a charged particle, comprising: a synchrotron, said synchrotron comprising: a center; a charged particle circulation beam path running; about said center; through straight sections; and through turning sections, wherein each of said turning sections comprises a plurality of bending magnets, each of said bending magnets comprising: a gap, said charged particle beam path running through said gap, and a core, wherein said core terminates at said gap with a surface comprising a finish of less than about ten microns polish; a winding coil winding about said core; a correction coil winding about said core, wherein said correction coil operates at less than three percent of a power of said winding coil; an accelerator system, said accelerator system comprising: a set of at least five coils, each of said coils circumferentially surrounding a section of said charged particle circulation beam path; a set of at least five wire loops; a set of at least five microcircuits, each of said microcircuits integrated to one of said loops, wherein each of said loops completes at least one turn about at least one of said coils; and a radio-frequency synthesizer configured to send a low voltage signal to each of said microcircuits, each of said microcircuits amplifying said low voltage signal yielding an acceleration voltage.
