<p>A standing wave type of microwave linear particle accelerator (40) has a sequence of microwave cavities (42), (43), (44), operated in the standing wave mode, with drift tube conduits (31), (32), (33), between them to permit the passage of a beam of charged particles which are accelerated by the electric fields in each cavity. The first cavity (42) into which the particles enter has a conduit (30) comprising a drift region connected to the particle entrance port (2), outlined by a re-entrant nose (3) extending into the first cavity (42). The drift tube conduit (31) between the first and second cavities (42, 43) has a tapered interior, and the diameter at the upstream end is less than the diameter of the conduit (30) in the re-entrant nose (3) of the first cavity (42). This structure significantly reduces the back bombardment of particles moving backward through the port (2), and increases the efficiency of particle focusing and bunching in the first cavity (42). <IMAGE></p> |
