The operation of a radical transmission line (RTC) based electron accelerator has been demonstrated. Electrons have been accelerated up to an energy of 11 KeV in a gap of 0.25 mm. This represents on average accelerating gradient of 44 MeV/m. Typical electron yields of 100 lc of charge per lunch were generated photoelectrically from the gold cathode surface.
