INVESTIGATION OF THE ACCELERATING SYSTEM OF A LINEAR ACCELERATOR OF ELECTRONS WITH ENERGY OF 5 MEV (ISSLEDOVANIE USKORYAYUSHCHEI SISTEMY LINEINOGO USKORITELYA ELEKTRONOV NA ENERGIYU 5 MEV),
Abstract
The results of testing an experimental model of the 5-Mev linear electron accelerator which is intended for beta and gamma therapy are reported. The accelerating system is made in the form of a 2338.3-mm long septate waveguide operating at pi/2 mode. The initial 767-mm long section of the waveguide has variable dimensions so that the phase velocity and field-strength amplitude can be continuously varied to ensure a high capture coefficient. These measured characteristics are presented: energy and accelerated-beam energy-spectrum width vs. frequency (maximum energy, around 2798.6 Mc); ratio of accelerated-particle current to injection current (capture) vs. frequency (80% corresponds to about 2800 Mc); energy, energy-spectrum width and capture vs. r-f power; same quantities vs. injection current; energy and energy-spectrum width vs. injection current; energy and energy-spectrum width vs. injection voltage. The energy spread of electrons at the spectrum half-height is plus or minus 5% or less; the average current of accelerated electrons, 70 micro a.
