US Patent Issued to The Trustees of Princeton University on May 12 for "Magnetic orbital angular momentum beam acceleration" (New Jersey Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,628,263, issued on May 12, was assigned to The Trustees of Princeton University (Princeton, N.J.).

"Magnetic orbital angular momentum beam acceleration" was invented by Christopher George Tully (Princeton, N.J.) and Wonyong Chung (South Amboy, N.J.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A magnetic orbital angular momentum beam accelerator will accelerate charged particles, electrons or ions, from rest in zero or low magnetic field into a high magnetic field regions with high kinetic energies in the form of magnetic orbital angular momentum. For example, a beam injector that accelerates electrons or ions into 1T magnetic fields with tens of keV ki...
