A linear accelerator is described in which the acceleration of the particles is attained by causing them to pass through consecutively arranged fields which are established by serially arranged tubes charged from a high frequency source and through which the ions are passed. Adjacent tubes in the series are connccted to opposite terminals of the source so as to be charged to opposite polarities and the particles are accelerated in steps as they progress through the fields. It is known that for very high terminal velocities of the particles extremely long tubes presenting space problems and large high frequency generator apparatus is required. It is nearly impossible to attain an exact tuning to resonance. In order to overcome these disadvantages it is proposed to surround the accelerating tubes coaxially with a cylindrically shaped cavity resonator. For connecting the tubes with the h-f generator, plates are located within the cavity which are attached to the interior surface of the cavity resonator along its mantle lines and to the correspondent tubes. The lines along which the plates are attached correspond to the location of the voltage maximum of the cavity resonator. (Gmelin Inst.)
