We are designing a compact and efficient electron linac with 500 W of average beam power and beam energy tunable from 5 to 10 MeV. The accelerator is of travelling wave type, and has little RF power reflected back to the RF source, eliminating the need for a large, lossy isolator. The structure is powered by a compact commercial 1.7 MW 9.3 GHz magnetron. To vary the beam energy we will change the current from the triode gun. We present an analysis of the structure, which includes varying the length from 60 cm to 80 cm, and the structure type, such as constant impedance versus constant gradient.
