RF systems: Waveguides and cavities

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5524409
After reviewing briefly the basic principles of an RF system for particle acceleration, this presentation deals more specifically with waveguides and cavities. Starting from Maxwell's equations, a general theory is developed in detail. Periodically loaded waveguides are given as an example of accelerating structure. The parameters which characterize the interaction of resonant cavities with a particle beam are introduced, for both longitudinal and transverse motions. Finally, a proof is given of the validity of equivalent circuits for representing the behaviour of a cavity in the vicinity of a resonance, in the presence of both a beam and an RF generator.
