Abstract

The existing methods of electromagnetic mass separation are analyzed. The trajectories of ions injected into the separation region along various directions in the magnetic field of a linear current are calculated. On the basis of analysis, two new schemes of mass separators with a plasma accelerator as the ion source are proposed. In the first scheme, plasma is injected along the longitudinal axis of the accelerator, while in the second scheme, an accelerator with annular ejection of the plasma flow along the radius in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the separator is used.
