SOME ASPECTS OF ELECTRON BEAM OPTICS AND X-RAY PRODUCTION WITH THE LINEAR ACCELERATOR

Journal Article · · IRE Trans. on Nuclear Sci.
A mathematical presentation of linear accelerator fundamental design parameters leads to optimization formulas for x-ray output and operational stability. A narrow spread of electron energies is desirable in most linear accelerator applications and especially when post-acceleration beam bending is utilized to project a stable high energy x-ray beam at right angles to the accelerator waveguide. Some consideration is also given to electron source optics and an analysis of a chopped prebunched injection system is presented together with a comparison of different types of bunchcr design with emphasis on obtaining narrow energy spectrum small cross-section electron beams. A method of analyzing prebunched injection current and buncher acceptance characteristics is described. (auth)
