Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electron beam acceleration system technology, and in particular to a magnetic field focusing correction electron beam acceleration system and method. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern science and technology, electron beam acceleration technology is widely used in many areas, such as electron microscopy, electron beam lithography, radiation therapy, and material modification. With the continuous development of these applications, the performance requirements for electron beams are increasing, especially in terms of energy stability, focusing accuracy, and beam quality.
[0003] In electron microscopy, high-resolution imaging relies on a highly focused and energy-stable electron beam to clearly distinguish microscopic structures. Electron beam lithography, on the other hand, requires the electron beam to have precise focusing and positioning capabilities to achieve nanometer-level processing precision, which is crucial for high-tech industries such as semiconductor chip manufacturing. In the field of radiation therapy, a precisely focused electron beam can accurately deliver radiation energy to diseased tissues while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
[0004] However, traditional electron beam acceleration systems face numerous challenges in practical applications. On the one hand, the initial characteristics of the electron beam emitted by the electron gun are difficult to control precisely, such as the emission angle and initial divergence, which affects subsequent acceleration and focusing effects. On the other hand, the performance optimization of the microwave resonant cavity during acceleration is limited, resulting in low electron beam acceleration efficiency and poor energy stability.
[0005] The magnetic field uniformity and adjustment precision generated by the focusing coil are insufficient to meet the increasingly demanding focusing requirements, easily causing defocusing of the electron beam during transmission and affecting beam quality. The design of the correction coil is not flexible and precise enough to effectively cope with the dynamic changes of the electron beam during acceleration, and it cannot correct in real time the problem of the electron beam deviating from the ideal trajectory caused by various factors (such as space charge effect, relativistic effect, etc.).
[0006] Furthermore, traditional control systems lack the ability to accurately predict and adaptively adjust electron beam behavior, often resorting to relatively fixed control strategies that are ill-suited to different application scenarios and complex, ever-changing electron beam conditions. This prevents the system from effectively and promptly adjusting the electron beam focusing and acceleration process in the face of various disturbances, thus limiting the overall performance improvement of the electron beam acceleration system.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an innovative magnetic field focusing and corrected electron beam acceleration system and method that can overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, achieve more precise control and optimization of the electron beam, meet the stringent requirements of modern scientific and technological development for electron beam performance, and promote further development in related fields. This invention is proposed against this background, aiming to provide a high-performance, high-reliability electron beam acceleration solution. Summary of the Invention
[0008] This invention proposes a magnetic field focusing correction electron beam acceleration system and method to solve the problems mentioned in the prior art.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: a magnetic field focusing and correcting electron beam acceleration system, comprising:
[0010] The electron gun uses a nanocomposite cathode material, and its internal structure has been optimized to precisely control the electron beam emission angle and initial divergence.
[0011] The accelerating tube adopts a multi-stage accelerating structure. Each stage of the accelerating structure consists of a microwave resonant cavity, and its resonant frequency is dynamically adjusted in the range of 5GHz-15GHz. The outer shell of the accelerating tube is made of low-loss, high-thermal-conductivity ceramic material. An electron beam collimation device is provided between the accelerating tube and the electron gun.
[0012] The focusing coil is made of multi-layer high-temperature superconducting tape. The coil has a cooling channel inside and liquid helium cryogenic medium is introduced to achieve efficient cooling. The magnetic field distribution of the focusing coil is optimized through the coil winding layout to generate a uniform focusing magnetic field with continuously adjustable magnetic field strength.
[0013] The correction coil adopts a three-dimensional structure design, consisting of multiple independently controlled sub-coils, which generate a correction magnetic field in three spatial dimensions. The correction coil and the focusing coil are isolated by a magnetic field coupling device to avoid mutual interference.
[0014] The control system includes high-precision sensors, high-speed data acquisition cards, and intelligent controllers. The sensors employ electron beam diagnostic technology to measure the position, energy, divergence, and beam current intensity parameters of the electron beam in real time. The intelligent controller, based on machine learning algorithms and adaptive control strategies, predicts the dynamic change trend of the electron beam through a calculation model based on the real-time acquired data, and controls the magnetic field strength of the focusing coil and the correction coil to achieve focusing and correction of the electron beam.
[0015] Furthermore, the nanocomposite cathode material of the electron gun is synthesized through a preparation process that includes tungsten-based material doped with silicon carbide nanoparticles. The preparation process includes high-temperature sintering and chemical vapor deposition steps, and the high voltage output voltage stability of the electron gun is better than ±0.01%.
[0016] Furthermore, the microwave resonant cavity of the accelerating tube adopts an elliptical cavity and a gradually changing coupling structure design to improve the interaction efficiency between the microwave field and the electron beam. The vacuum system inside the accelerating tube uses a multi-stage vacuum pump group, and the ultimate vacuum degree can reach 1×10⁻ 8 Below Pascal.
[0017] Furthermore, the high-temperature superconducting tape of the focusing coil has high critical current density and low AC loss performance parameters. The coil winding process adopts a non-inductive winding method to improve the magnetic field uniformity. The magnetic field adjustment system of the focusing coil adopts a current source adjustment resolution of 0.1 mA.
[0018] Furthermore, the sub-coils of the correction coil are miniaturized and made of copper-nickel alloy. Each sub-coil is equipped with an independent drive circuit, which uses high-speed switching elements to switch and control the magnetic field strength. A magnetic field shield is provided around the correction coil to reduce external magnetic field interference.
[0019] Furthermore, the intelligent controller of the control system stores an electron beam behavior model and a correction algorithm library, automatically selecting appropriate control strategies according to different application scenarios and electron beam characteristics. At the same time, the controller is connected to external devices through a high-speed communication interface to realize remote monitoring and operation, and records and analyzes system operation data in real time.
[0020] Furthermore, an electron beam acceleration method using magnetic field focusing correction includes the following steps:
[0021] S1. The electron gun emits an electron beam. By controlling the cathode temperature and high voltage power supply parameters of the electron gun, the electron beam has a predetermined initial energy, emissivity and divergence. After passing through the collimation device, the electron beam enters the accelerating tube at a high-precision incident angle.
[0022] S2. The accelerating tube dynamically adjusts the resonant frequency of the microwave resonant cavity and the input microwave power according to the energy requirements of the electron beam to accelerate the electron beam efficiently. During the acceleration process, the vacuum degree and microwave field distribution parameters inside the accelerating tube are monitored in real time.
[0023] S3. The focusing coil calculates the initial focusing magnetic field strength based on the initial parameters of the electron beam and the energy changes during the acceleration phase through the control system, generates a focusing magnetic field to initially focus the electron beam, and continuously monitors the focusing state of the electron beam during the focusing process.
[0024] S4. The sensor monitors the position, energy, and divergence status parameters of the electron beam in real time and transmits the data to the intelligent controller through the data acquisition card.
[0025] S5. The intelligent controller inputs the received real-time data into the pre-trained electron beam behavior prediction model, combines it with the algorithms in the correction algorithm library, calculates the strength and direction of the correction magnetic field, controls the correction coil to generate the correction magnetic field, corrects the focusing of the electron beam, continuously optimizes the control parameters during the correction process to ensure that the electron beam always maintains the best focusing state during acceleration, and dynamically adjusts the microwave parameters of the accelerating tube according to the actual state of the electron beam to achieve coordinated optimization of acceleration and focusing.
[0026] S6. Regularly conduct comprehensive performance evaluations of the system, including the final energy of the electron beam, beam quality, and focusing accuracy. Based on the evaluation results, use machine learning algorithms to automatically optimize and upgrade the models and algorithms in the control system, continuously improving the overall performance of the system. Furthermore, during system operation, use intelligent diagnostic functions to promptly identify potential faults.
[0027] Furthermore, in step S3, the initial focusing magnetic field strength is calculated based on a multiphysics coupling simulation model, considering the space charge effect and relativistic effects of the electron beam. The formula is as follows: Where Bf is the focusing magnetic field strength, E0 is the initial energy of the electron beam, D0 is the spatial distance parameter corresponding to the initial divergence angle of the electron beam, L is the length of the accelerating tube, I is the electron beam current intensity, ε is the electron beam emittance, m0 is the electron rest mass, c is the speed of light in vacuum, and k1 and k2 are coefficients obtained by fitting a large amount of experimental data and simulation results. Furthermore, during the focusing process, an adaptive feedback control algorithm is used to fine-tune the focusing magnetic field strength in real time according to the actual focusing situation of the electron beam. The fine-tuning formula is: Where ΔBf is the adjustment amount of the focusing magnetic field strength, F is the deviation between the actual focusing position and the ideal focusing position of the electron beam, F0 is the preset focusing position deviation threshold, D is the deviation between the actual divergence and the initial divergence of the electron beam, D0 is the preset divergence deviation threshold, and k3 and k4 are adaptive adjustment coefficients.
[0028] Furthermore, in step S5, the calculation of the strength and direction of the correction magnetic field adopts a neural network algorithm based on deep learning. The input layer of the neural network is the real-time state parameters of the electron beam, and the output layer is the strength and direction of the correction magnetic field. The training process uses a large amount of simulation and actual experimental data to ensure the accuracy and generalization ability of the algorithm. The generation of the correction magnetic field adopts pulse modulation technology. According to the dynamic changes of the electron beam, the pulse width, frequency and amplitude of the correction magnetic field are controlled to achieve the correction of the electron beam focusing. In addition, a fuzzy control strategy is introduced during the correction process to handle the uncertainties in the system and improve the stability and robustness of the correction.
[0029] Furthermore, in step S6, the performance evaluation index system includes multiple quantitative indicators such as the energy stability of the electron beam, beam uniformity, and divergence reduction rate, as well as qualitative indicators such as the imaging quality and processing accuracy of the electron beam in practical applications. The system optimization and upgrade process adopts reinforcement learning algorithm to automatically explore and optimize the parameter settings and algorithm strategies of the control system based on the performance evaluation results. At the same time, a fault prediction model is established to predict the possible fault types and times based on big data analysis and machine learning technology.
[0030] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0031] The electron gun of this invention employs a nanocomposite cathode material and an optimized internal structure, enabling precise control of the electron beam emission angle and initial divergence, laying the foundation for subsequent precise acceleration and focusing. For example, in electron beam lithography, it can ensure nanoscale processing accuracy.
[0032] The focusing coil is wound with multi-layer high-temperature superconducting tape, with optimized magnetic field distribution and continuously adjustable intensity. Combined with the three-dimensional structure of the correction coil and the independent control sub-coil, it can achieve precise focusing and correction of the electron beam in three spatial dimensions, so that the electron beam always maintains an ideal state during acceleration and effectively improves the beam quality.
[0033] The multi-stage accelerating structure and dynamically tunable resonant frequency (5GHz - 15GHz) of the accelerating tube, combined with an optimized microwave resonant cavity design (elliptical cavity, gradually changing coupling structure) and a high-vacuum system (ultimate vacuum level up to 1×10⁻⁻⁻⁴), 8 (Below Pascal), this significantly improves the interaction efficiency between the microwave field and the electron beam, achieving efficient acceleration while ensuring electron beam energy stability. For example, in electron microscopy, it can provide a stable high-energy electron beam, improving imaging resolution.
[0034] The high-precision sensors, high-speed data acquisition cards, and intelligent controllers in the control system, based on machine learning algorithms and adaptive control strategies, can monitor and precisely control the magnetic field strength in real time according to the dynamic changes of the electron beam, achieving synergistic optimization of acceleration and focusing. Simultaneously, it can automatically select appropriate control strategies according to different application scenarios and also allows for remote monitoring, improving the system's flexibility and ease of use.
[0035] Regular comprehensive performance evaluations and machine learning-based automatic optimization and upgrade mechanisms continuously improve overall system performance, ensuring long-term stable operation. For example, in radiation therapy, it maintains consistently high-precision electron beam focusing and energy output. Simultaneously, intelligent diagnostic functions can promptly identify potential faults, improving system reliability and reducing maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description
