after all you can use a magnetic field as an accelerator

Having worked with several linear accelerators i can vouch for that. However the placement and field strengths are very difficult calculations( sometimes Kentucky windage) to get it working correctly.
Now a vacumme tube based on a linear accelerator might be an interesting app. Then again you would have to step down from around five plus MEV and have shielding due to radiation.
