A linear accelerator for charged particles includes a plurality of accelerating stages in a linear arrangement along a central axis. Each accelerating stage has at least one passageway radially spaced from the central axis for transmitting a beam of charged particles. Electromagnetic wave energy is coupled to the accelerating stages to produce an accelerating electric field in a region of the passageway of each of the accelerating stages. Coupling circuits couple the electromagnetic wave energy between adjacent accelerating stages. Each accelerating stage may be configured as an annular accelerating cavity or as two or more accelerating cavities disposed around the central axis. The passageway may be configured as two or more discrete apertures or a single annular aperture. Beam bending devices may be used to direct the charged particle beam through the accelerator two or more times. The linear accelerator produces a high current, high energy charged particle beam. | ||||||
183 | Standing-wave accelerating structure with different diameter bores in bunching and regular cavity sections | US196255 | 1988-05-20 | US5039910A | 1991-08-13 | Yusuke Moriguchi; Hiroshi Kikuchi |
A standing-wave accelerating structure for accelerating charged particles wherein a converging force and a diverging force of an electric field to an electron beam are checked to improve the transmittivity of the electron beam through the accelerating structure and production of X-ray leakage is eliminated or minimized.

184 | Microwave electron gun | US385149 | 1989-07-26 | US5029259A | 1991-07-02 | Susumu Nishihara |
A microwave electron gun for a linear accelerator uses microwave energy to impart an initial acceleration to electrons emitted from a lanthanum-hexaboride cathode. The microwaves are contained in an electron-gun cavity, the upstream wall of which has a protruding part surrounding the entrance opening that accommodates the cathode, and the downstream wall of which has a flat part surrounding an exit opening. The rest of the downstream wall has a radius of curvature equal to that of the other microwave cavities in the accelerating tube, and its center of curvature is aligned with theirs. The cathode is fused to a pair of carbon electrodes to form a cathode block, which is held by clamping between a pair of electrode bars, thus forming a cathode tube. The cathode tube is inserted into a sleeve upstream of the entrance opening in the electron-gun cavity, and is surrounded at a distance of one quarter-wavelength from the cathode by a disk-shaped choke cavity extending one quarter-wavelength from the cathode tube. This electron gun is easy to design and operate, and prevents loss of microwave energy. | ||||||
185 | Standing wave linear accelerator having non-resonant side cavity | US717351 | 1985-03-29 | US4629938A | 1986-12-16 | Kenneth Whitham |
A linear accelerator includes cascaded standing wave main cavities with approximately the same resonant frequency and plural side cavities. A charged particle beam travels longitudinally through the main cavities. An electromagnetic wave excites the cavities with a frequency that is approximately the same as the resonant frequency of the main cavities. There is normally a fixed electromagnetic energy phase shift in adjacent main cavities. The resonant frequency of at least one side cavity is adjusted so it differs from the electromagnetic wave frequency. The detuned side cavity resonant frequency causes: (a) a change in the normal fixed phase shift of the main cavities adjacent the one side cavity and (b) a decrease in electric field strength in cavities electromagnetically downstream of the one side cavity relative to the electric field strength in cavities electromagnetically upstream of the one side cavity. In different embodiments, the electromagnetic wave is injected into a cavity where the particle beam is upstream and downstream of the one side cavity, respectively. | ||||||

188 | Standing wave linear accelerator and input coupling | US754650 | 1976-12-27 | US4122373A | 1978-10-24 | Victor A. Vaguine |
A standing-wave linear charged particle accelerator is disclosed which comprises a plurality of interlaced substructures, with each substructure having a plurality of accelerating cavities disposed along the particle beam path and having side cavities disposed away from the beam path for electromagnetically coupling the accelerating cavities. A standing radio-frequency electromagnetic wave is supported in each substructure, with the wave in each substructure being phased with respect to the wave in every other substructure so that the particle beam will experience a maximum energy gain throughout its path through the accelerator.

189 | Linear accelerator having a side cavity coupled to two different diameter cavities | US777364 | 1977-03-14 | US4118652A | 1978-10-03 | Victor A. Vaguine |
In the field of side-cavity coupled accelerators the accelerating cavity to which the accelerating power input is connected has preferably a smaller diameter than the other accelerating cavities. A side cavity is connected by a separate passage to the accelerating cavities of different diameter it couples together, whereby the areas of the coupling irises formed where said passages enter said accelerating cavities can be independently controlled by selecting the length of the respective passage. This separate passage arrangement is particularly described in an accelerator which comprises a plurality of interlaced substructures, with each substructure having a plurality of accelerating cavities disposed along the particle beam path and having side cavities disposed away from the beam path for electromagnetically coupling the accelerating cavities. A standing radio-frequency electromagnetic wave is fed to an accelerating cavity in each substructure so there are plural driven cavities in a single accelerator. Thus, the separate coupling passage arrangement between the side cavity and the accelerating cavities it couples is particularly valuable in said multiple substructure arrangement. | ||||||
190 | Standing-wave linear accelerator | US546379 | 1975-02-03 | US4024426A | 1977-05-17 | Victor A. Vaguine |
A standing-wave linear charged particle accelerator is disclosed which comprises a plurality of interlaced substructures, with each substructure having a plurality of accelerating cavities disposed along the particle beam path and having side cavities disposed away from the beam path for electromagnetically coupling the accelerating cavities. A standing radio-frequency electromagnetic wave is supported in each substructure, with the wave in each substructure being phase with respect to the wave in every other substructure so that the particle beam will experience a maximum energy gain throughout its path through the accelerator. This interlaced substructure configuration minimizes the transit time of the particles across the gap of each accelerating cavity and makes it possible to operate the accelerator without radio-frequency breakdown at a power level that provides a substantially higher average value of the accelerating electric field along the beam path than has heretofore been obtainable. | ||||||
