New Method of Quality Control Test for Light and Radiation Field Coincidence in Medical Linear Accelerators
Introduction: The evaluation of X-ray and light field coincidence in linear accelerators as a quality control test is often performed subjectively, involving the manual marking of films and their visual inspection following the irradiation. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop an objective method for the performance of this test leading to the increased levels...
متن کاملMgB2 for Application to RF Cavities for Accelerators
Magnesium diboride (MgB 2 ) has a transition temperature (Tc) of 40 K, i.e., about 4 times as high as that of niobium (Nb). We have been evaluating MgB 2 as a candidate material for radio-frequency (RF) cavities for future particle accelerators. Studies in the last 3 years have shown that it could have about one order of magnitude less RF surface resistance (Rs) than Nb at 4 K. A power dependen...
متن کاملIntroduction to Rf Linear Accelerators
After a short introduction to applications of RF linacs and their advantages and drawbacks as opposed to circular accelerators, the model of RF resonant cavities and their excitation by RF sources or beam is introduced. Then beam dynamics notions, essential to linacs, such as transit-time factor, synchronism, r.m.s. properties, matching and mismatching in linear or nonlinear forces, are presented.
متن کاملSuperconducting cavities for accelerators
Superconducting cavities have been in operation in accelerators for 25 years. In the last decade many installations in storage rings and linacs have been completed. Meanwhile, nearly 1 km of active cavity length is in operation in accelerators. Large-scale applications of superconducting radiofrequency systems are planned for future e+e− linear colliders and proton linacs. Superconducting cavit...
متن کاملGradient Limitations for High-Frequency Accelerators
The main gradient limitation for high frequency accelerators is rf breakdown. While the physics of this gradient limitation still lacks a full theoretical understanding, a fairly complete empirical picture has emerged from the experimental work done in the past few years to characterize this phenomenon. Experimental results obtained mostly in the framework of the NLC/GLC project at 11 GHz and f...
