Study of a novel compact standing wave RF linac
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel, compact RF linac structure, the plane wave transformer (PWT), is studied. The PWT provides high accelerating field and high efficiency, and can be used to accelerate high-brightness beams. PWT linac prototypes with eight cells at S-band have been developed at UCLA and successfully used to accelerate an electron beam by more than 10 MeV in 40 cm. In this paper, we describe the principal properties of this structure, the electric parameters obtained from numerical simulation, and measurement results from microwave cold tests. The mechanical design for prototype linacs is also reported.

Initial Operation of the Ucla Plane Wave Transformer (pwt) Linac
We report on the initial operation of a novel compact rf linac — the plane wave transformer (PWT). The PWT is a 42 cm long, 8 cell standing-wave structure, operated at Sband, in a π−mode. We present the properties of this linac at rf power levels from 4 MW to 8 MW and beam energy from 7 MeV to 10 MeV, measured initially using both dark current and photo-electrons. Some technical issues associat...
متن کاملDesign Study on Standing-wave Linear Accelerator
A compact standing-wave linac has been designed using S-band microwaves for medical and industrial applications. It uses a bi-periodic structure with constant impedance. It consists of a buncher section with three-cells and on-axis coupled cavities with nine-cells. The total length is 740.0 mm including the electron gun. Using SUPERFISH, HFSS and PARMELA codes, it is capable to deliver 4.5 MeV ...
متن کاملThe New Design for Capture Cavity of Cebaf*
In CEBAF, the electron beam from the injector must be sufficiently relativistic to match a 1 GeV recirculated beam in the first linac. The electron beam is produced with a — 130 keV electron gun, then accelerated by a room temperature, graded-beta standing wave linac, capture section, from 130 keV to 510 keV before enters two 5-cell superconducting RF cavities for further acceleration. Present ...
متن کاملHigh power electron accelerators for radiation processing and its safety aspects
Electron accelerators from 500 keV to 10 MeV energy are employed for surface irradiation, food preservation, medical sterilization, cargo scanning and other industrial products. At EBC, a 10 MeV Linac has been indigenously developed and is operational for radiation processing. This is an on-axis coupled cavity standing wave type of RF linac operating with 50-70 keV electron gun having LaB6 cath...
متن کاملThe Spear Injector Rf Gun and Linac Performace*
In light of the SPEAR3 upgrade project where the goal is to store up to 500 mA of beam current at 3.0 GeV beam energy, the injector RF gun and linac performance must be optimised in terms of reliability and injection rate. The basic linac system layout has not been changed for the last ten years of operation. A thermionic1.5-cell standing wave RF gun is the source of bunched beams at 10 Hz. An ...
