X-ray apparatus comprises a linear accelerator adapted to produce a beam of electrons at one of at least two selectable energies and being controlled to change the selected energy on a periodic basis, and a target to which the beam is directed thereby to produce a beam of x-radiation, the target being non- homogenous and being driven to move periodically in synchrony with the change of the selected energy. In this way, the target can move so that a different part is exposed to the electron beam when different pulses arrive. This enables the appropriate target material to be employed depending on the selected energy. The easiest form of periodic movement for the target is likely to be a rotational movement. The target can be immersed in a coolant fluid such as water. The linear accelerator can be of the type disclosed in WO2006/097697A1. The target preferably contains at least one exposed area of tungsten and/or at least one exposed area of carbon. These can be present as inhomogeneities in the material of which the target is composed, such as Carbon inserts in a Tungsten substrate (or vice versa), alternating segments of Carbon and Tungsten, Carbon and Tungsten inserts in a substrate of a third material, or arrangements involving other materials in addition to or instead of Carbon and/or Tungsten. Alternatively, the target can be of a homogenous material but have inhomogeneities in its thickness to cater for the different electron energies. The same concept can be applied to the filter. A detector can be provided, operating in synchrony with the energy variation. Such an x-ray apparatus can form a part of a radiotherapy apparatus, in which case the first selected energy can be a diagnostic energy and a second selected energy a therapeutic energy.

System for ion acceleration for medical purposes comprising a conventional or superconducting cyclotron, a radiofrequency linear accelerator (Linac), a Medium Energy Beam Transport line (MEBT) connected, at the low energy side, to the exit of the cyclotron, and at the other side, to the entrance of the linear radiofrequency accelerator, as well as a High Energy Beam Transport line (HEBT) connected at high energy side to the radiofrequency linear accelerator exit and at the other end, to a system for the dose distribution to the patient. The high frequency of operation of the Linac allows for a reduced consumption and a remarkable compactness facilitating its installation in hospital structures. The use of a modular LINAC allows varying in active way the energy and the current of the therapeutic beam, having a small emittance and a time structure adapted to the dose distribution based on the technique known as the 'spot scanning'.

This is an improvement on our earlier application, PCT/GB99/00187. The device then disclosed allowed the variation of the coupling between two points in an RF circuit in a very simple way whilst maintaining the RF phase relationship and varying the relative magnitude of the RF fields. It was characterised by a simple single mechanical control of coupling value, that has negligible effect on the phase shift across the device. This was achieved by the simple rotation of the polarisation of a TE111 mode inside a cylindrical cavity. In this application, a slight frequency dependence on the angle of rotation is correctable by a relative excess of material located opposite the apertures between the coupling cavity and the accelerating cavities.

This device allows the variation of the coupling between two points in an RF circuit in a very simple way whilst maintaining the RF phase relationship and varying the relative magnitude of the RF fields. The device is characterised by a simple mechanical control of coupling value, that has negligible effect on the phase shift across the device. This is achieved by the simple rotation of the polarisation of a TE111 mode inside a cylindrical cavity. Such a device does not contain resistive elements, and the sliding mechanical surfaces are free from high RF currents. This device finds an application in standing wave linear accelerators, where it is desirable to vary the relative RF field in one set of cavities with respect to another, in order that the accelerator can operate successfully over a wide range of energies.

An electron acceleration system includes a first RF cavity, and a second RF cavity whose center is located at a distance not more than 1.5 inch from the center of the first RF cavity, along an axis. The first RF cavity has a length less than about 0.25 inches. The on-axis coupling between the first and second RF cavities along the axis, which is primarily electric, is cancelled out by an off-axis coupling between the RF cavities off the axis, which is primarily magnetic. In this way, the net RF coupling between the RF cavities is zero. The phase and amplitude of the first and second RF cavities are each independently adjustable.

Methods for generating a multiple-energy X-ray pulse. A beam of electrons is generated with an electron gun and modulated prior to injection into an accelerating structure to achieve at least a first and specified beam current amplitude over the course of respective beam current temporal profiles. A radio frequency field is applied to the accelerating structure with a specified RF field amplitude and a specified RF temporal profile. The first and second specified beam current amplitudes are injected serially, each after a specified delay, in such a manner as to achieve at least two distinct endpoint energies of electrons accelerated within the accelerating structure during a course of a single RF-pulse. The beam of electrons is accelerated by the radio frequency field within the accelerating structure to produce accelerated electrons which impinge upon a target for generating Bremsstrahlung X-rays.
