Pushing the capture limit of thermionic gun linacs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although accelerator technology has matured sufficiently, state-of-the-art x-ray linacs for radiotherapy and cargo-scanning capture merely 30%--50% of the electrons from a thermionic cathode, requiring higher cathode current leaving uncaptured to cause problems such as back bombardment on leading shortening life. Any solution increase should be effective, simple, reliable, compact, low cost in order adopted by industry. To address this, we present design 6 MeV high efficiency S-band electron linac that captures 90% initial dc beam. This does not require any extra parts would is achieved via low-field amplitude first bunching cell decrease number back-streaming electrons, velocity bunch beam, recapture electrons. Under field amplitude, launched at decelerating phases travel backward with speeds, thus most them can catch next rf cycle, get reaccelerated/recaptured. As speed low, length also shorter than existing linacs. Such short use asymmetric cells differential coupling side-coupled cells. Our novel implications all commercial gun increasing beam lifetime.

Cid Thermionic Gun System*
A new high-current thermionic gun has been installed on the CID injector at SLAC and brought into operation. The gun and pulser system generate three nanosecond pulses of about six amps peak which, when bunched in the subharmonic buncher system, produce in excess of 1011 electrons in a single S-band accelerated bunch. Preliminary operation of the gun is described, and details of the avalanche c...
متن کاملPushing NRQCD to the limit
Lattice NRQCD has proven successful in describing the physics of the upsilon system and B mesons, though some concerns arise when it is used in simulations of charm quarks. It is certainly possible that the NRQCD expansion is not converging fast enough at this scale. We present some preliminary results on the low-mass breakdown of NRQCD, in particular the behaviour of QQ̄ and Qq̄ spectra as the b...
متن کاملProton Linacs for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Recent advances in the ability to deliver boron-containing drugs to brain tumors have generated interest in -4 MeV liiacs as sources of epithemtal neutrons for radiation therapy. In addition, fast neutron therapy facilities have been studying methods to moderate their beams to take advantage of the high cross section for epithennal neutrons on boron-10. This paper describes the technical issues...
متن کاملPushing Software Events to the Hardware Limit
Runtimes and applications that rely heavily on event notifications suffer when such notifications must traverse several layers of processing in software. Many of these layers necessarily exist in order to support a general-purpose, portable kernel architecture, but they introduce unacceptable overheads for demanding, high-performance parallel runtimes. Other overheads can arise out of a mismatc...
