S>The bases of choices made in designing and constructing the accelerating structure of the Stanford two-mile linear electron accelerator are discussed. The structure is to be an all-copper, cylindrical, disk-loaded waveguide, four inches in diameter and 10,000 ft long. Decisions reviewed are choice of operating frequency (2856 Mc/sec), accelerator length, number of r-f power sources and feed interval, operating mode (2 pi /3), constant-gradient over constant impedance structure, attenuation parameter, and wave-guide (disk-loaded). Characteristics and dimensions of many components are listed, and tables and graphs display information that determined some of the choices. Matching and tuning of an accelerator section is also discussed as are advantages of electroform and brazing for section fabric-ation. Cold testing to determine dimensions of constant-gradient designs is also described. (D.C.W.)
