OSTI ID:7215490

The basic elements and properties of the split microtron designed for use as an injector in the Pakhra synchroton are discussed. The microtron consists of two 180degree turning magnets, which produce a homogeneous magnetic field of 0.4 T, and a traveling-wave linear accelerator in which the phase velocity is equal to the speed of light. The microtron is designed for an electron energy of 25 MeV at a current of 0.5 A with pulses 6 ..mu..sec long. Provision is made for a synchrotron intensity to 2x10/sup 11/ electrons per pulse. The use of a ''transparent'' electron gun simplifies the design of the microtron substantially, making it possible to avoid a complicated inflector unit. Microwave power is supplied to the microtron from a KIU-15 pulsed klystron. The reasons underlying the choice of the various microtron parameters are given, and the variational characteristics are reported.
