Variable energy selection is accomplished in a side cavity coupled standing wave linear accelerator by shifting the phase of the field in a selected side coupling cavity by .pi. radians where such side coupling cavity is disposed intermediate groups of accelerating cavities. For an average acceleration energy of E.sub.1 (MeV) per interaction cavity, and a total number of N interaction cavities, the total energy gain is E.sub.1 (N-2N.sub.1) where N.sub.1 is the number of interaction cavities traversed beyond the incidence of the phase shift. The phase shift is most simply accomplished by changing the selected side cavity configuration mechanically in repeatable manner so that its resonant excitation is switched from TM.sub.010 mode to either TM.sub.011 or TEM modes. Thus, the total energy gain can be varied without changing the RF input power. In addition, the beam energy spread is unaffected. |

The accelerating structure comprises a resonant cavity within which are placed at least two longitudinal conducting supports. One end of each support is electrically connected to the cavity in such a manner as to be in quarter-wave resonance and in opposite phase. Drift tubes are electrically connected alternately to each of the two supports. The supports are electrically connected respectively to each end of the lateral face of the cavity. |

An S-band standing wave electron accelerator structure having a multiplicity of resonant accelerating cavities and resonant coupling cavities mounted sequentially in an alternating accelerating cavity-coupling cavity pattern along an accelerator axis, with adjacent cavities separated by a common wall. The common walls and end walls of the structure have beam holes concentric with the axis, and the common walls further have two slots for coupling energy between the cavities. To prevent direct coupling between the accelerating cavities which are separated by a coupling cavity, the coupling slots in one wall of the coupling cavity are rotated approximately 90.degree. about the accelerator axis with respect to the coupling slos in the other wall. The structure is assembled by brazing a number of conductive segments together. Each segment forms half of each of the adjacent cavities having the common wall and thus consists of half of an accelerating cavity and half of a coupling cavity. The outer profile of the segments may be circular, square, or hexagon. The cooling system is simplified if a combination of circular and square segments, or only hexagonal segments are used. |

The present disclosure discloses a method for controlling a standing wave accelerator and a system thereof. The method comprises: generating, by an electron gun, an electron beam; injecting the electron beam into an accelerating tube; and controlling a microwave power source to generate and input microwave with different frequencies into the accelerating tube, so that the accelerating tube switches between different resonant modes at a predetermined frequency to generate electron beams with corresponding energy. According to the above solution, it only needs to change the output frequency of the microwave power source in the process of adjusting energy, without making any change to the accelerating structure per se. Therefore, the method is easy to operate. In addition, the structure of the accelerating tube in the above system is simple, without adding a particular regulation apparatus. |
