Preliminary operation of a "racetrack" microtron is described. The microtron is designed to utilize injection at 10 to 20 kev, and have a 30 ma output of electrons at 4 to 12 Mev. The microtron is built in four sectors, with accelerating gaps that flare outward. Advantages of this type of accelerator over the conventional microtron include better beam characteristics, a smaller magnet gap, flare focusing, and release from injection energy and energy turn per gain restrictions.
