ELECTRON ACCELERATION TECHNIQUE AND DESIGN OF AN INDUCTION ACCELERATOR
The design of a cyclic charged-particle accelerator is proposed, in which electron acceleration is actuated with an eddy-current field (inductive emf) induced in an electroconductive ring cooled to the state of superconductivity. The ring is interposed between the poles of an electromagnet, and the electron source is provided by a continuous annular film inside the ring, made of a tin-bismuth alloy and cooled to the state of superconductivity by dipping the entire ring into liquid helium or by passing the latter through a circular channel in the insulated central part of the ring. Tungsten targets of a small rectangular plate design are placed at determined intervals along radii of the ring on the internal and external film surfaces. Throughout the time of electron acceleration, the ratio between the current strength in the electromagnet core and the circular field current strength remains constant. As a result, the electrons do not leave their equilibrium orbit. After electrons of the required enegy have been obtained, in the auxiliary coil (in the electromagnet core), a current pulse is fed, the character of the magnetic field is changed, electrons leave their orbit, hit the targets, are slowed down, and gamma radiation is produced as a result. t is noted that the suggested method of acceleration and the cyclic accelerator design permit the electron beam intensity to be increased significantly, since the space charge is absent.
