DESIGN STUDY OF A LINEAR ELECTRON ACCELERATOR.
Abstract
A linear accelerator incorporating a bar loading structure and utilizing microwave feedback is described. The characteristics of the bar structure required for the design are the attenuation length and the coupling impedance. Methods for obtaining these parameters are discussed and the pertinent measurement techniques are described. The design of the feedback loop is presented and the over-all characteristics of the accelerator with feedback is presented. Beam loading losses are introduced and the resultant output energy is calculated for different values of beam loading. These results are presented in the form of a curve which depicts the output energy as a function of accelerator length with beam loading as a parameter. The over-all system is described with particular mention of the auxiliary equipment needed for operation. (Author)
