Electron accelerator, having a resonant cavity (10) comprising an outer cylindrical conductor (11) and a inner cylindrical conductor (12), an electron source (20) for injecting a beam of electrons (40) transversally into the cavity, an RF source (50) coupled to the cavity and adapted to generate an electric field (E) into the cavity for accelerating the electrons (40) a plurality of times into the cavity and according to successive and different transversal trajectories, and at least one deflecting magnet (30) disposed so as to redirect outgoing electrons back into the cavity. The RF source (50) is adapted to energize the cavity in a pulsed mode, thereby enabling to build a reduced size and lower cost accelerator. |
