Image displacement effect in linear induction accelerators
A beam of relativistic particles moving inside a conducting pipe of circular cross-section is displaced from the axis of the pipe. The presence of a discontinuity in the pipe (e.g., an accelerating gap) will cause a redistribution of the image charges and currents, and a net transverse force is experienced by beam particles as they transverse the gap. This force is calculated in the static limit for the particular geometry of 3 cm wide gaps spaced 30 cm apart in a pipe of radius 7.5 cm.
