MULTIPLE ENERGY ELECTRON ACCELERATOR

摘要

Electron accelerator having a resonant cavity (10), an electron source (20) for injecting a beam of electrons (40) into the cavity, an RF source (50) adapted to generate an electric field (E) into the cavity for accelerating the electrons (40) a plurality of times inside the cavity up to a main accelerator output (42a), and beam deflectors (30) arranged outside the cavity and configured to redirect outgoing electrons back into the cavity. At least one of the beam deflectors (30) comprises a plurality of deflection magnets including a kicker magnet (80) configured to deviate the electron beam from a nominal trajectory and towards an intermediate accelerator output (41 a).
