Standing Wave High Energy Linear Accelerator Structures
TLDR
In this paper, the design and operation of resonant linear accelerator tanks suitable for use in high energy proton and electron linacs is described and the synthesis of the side coupled cavity chain, a biperiodic chain which combines high acceleration efficiency with π/2 mode field stability, is described.Abstract:
The design and operation of resonant linear accelerator tanks suitable for use in high energy proton and electron linacs is described. It is shown that construction of these tanks to operate in the π/2 mode yields systems with extraordinary field stability. Theoretical expressions and corresponding experimental observations are obtained for the behavior of cavity chains operating in the π/2 mode. The synthesis of the side coupled cavity chain, a biperiodic chain which combines high acceleration efficiency with π/2 mode field stability, is described. Extensions of π/2 mode operation to nonperiodic chains is also demonstrated.read more

TL;DR: It is hoped the review might re-connect younger radiotherapy physicists in particular with some of the history and emphasize the continual need to remain aware of the past, in order to make best use of past experience when taking decisions in the present.

High Frequency Linacs for Hadrontherapy
TL;DR: The use of radiofrequency linacs for hadrontherapy was proposed about 20 years ago, but only recently has it been understood that the high repetition rate together with the possibility of very rapid energy variations offers an optimal solution to the present challenge of hadron-therapy: "paint" a moving tumor target in three dimensions with a pencil beam as discussed by the authors.

Coupled Resonator Model for Standing Wave Accelerator Tanks
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of standing wave accelerator tanks, made up of chains of resonant cavities, is investigated using a coupled resonator model, which gives accurate predictions of the behaviour of such a cavity chain, including tolerances to errors in manufacture, cavity feed distributions, and transient response.

A linear electron accelerator.
TL;DR: It is shown that, though the orbits are unstable, this instability is so small as to be negligible in general, provided the electrons are injected at relativistic velocities, and space‐charge spreading may be neglected.

The Production of Heavy High Speed Ions without the Use of High Voltages
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the multiple acceleration of ions to high speeds without the use of high voltages was developed, where ions travel through a series of metal tubes in synchronism with an oscillating electric potential applied alternately to the tubes such that the electric field between tubes is always in a direction to accelerate the ions as they pass from the interior of one tube to the interior interior of the next.
