High efficiency linear accelerator structures comprising a succession of cylindrical resonant cavities which are accelerating cavities, and coupling annular cavities which are located at the periphery thereof, each of these annular cavities being coupled to two adjacent cylindrical cavities.
A linear particle accelerator having detection apparatus for detecting the presence of and correcting for beam misalignment. The linear accelerator includes a charged particle accelerator system and deflection coils for changing both the positional and angular displacement of a charged particle beam ...
The accelerating structure comprises a resonant cavity within which are placed at least two longitudinal conducting supports. One end of each support is electrically connected to the cavity in such a manner as to be in quarter-wave resonance and in opposite phase. Drift tubes are electrically connec ...
In a clinical linear accelerator system for delivering charged particles for medical applications, a series of monolithic cavity-defining members is connected to form a succession of accelerating cavities, with temperature regulation being achieved by aligning internal cooling passageways through th ...
The present invention relates to an apparatus for pre-acceleration of ions and optimized matching of beam parameters used in a heavy ion application comprising a radio frequency quadruple accelerator (RFQ) having two mini-vane pairs supported by a plurality of alternating stems accelerating the ions ...
A component of an ion implanter (10), and a method of operating same, are provided for reducing the amount of x-rays generated when an ion beam (15) passes therethrough. In one embodiment, the component comprises an electrode (72) in an ion implanter radio frequency (RF) linear accelerator (linac) ( ...
An automatic frequency control system is described for maintaining the drive frequency applied to a linear accelerator to produce maximum particle output from the accelerator. The particle output amplitude is measured and the frequency of the radio frequency source powering the linear accelerator is ...
A high-gradient linear accelerator comprises a solid-state stack in a vacuum of five sets of disc-shaped Blumlein modules each having a center hole through which particles are sequentially accelerated. Each Blumlein module is a sandwich of two outer conductive plates that bracket an inner conductive ...
A charged particle accelerator has an accelerator chamber in the interior of which a narrow beam of charged particles is accelerated. The particle beam is directed to a discharge window for discharging the particles therethrough. A device is provided for wobbling the beam of particles before the par ...
A method and apparatus for verifying the position of a lesion (303) in a patient's body (302) compares the location of the lesion in CT slices with the position of the lesion (303) in ultrasound images taken while the patient lays on the treatment table (404) of a linear accelerator (401).
