Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for accelerating electrons including an electron source configured to provide a beam of electrons and an accelerator utilize electron cyclotron resonance acceleration (eCRA). The accelerator includes a radio frequency (RF) cavity having a longitudinal axis, one or more inlets, and one or more outlets and an electro-magnet substantially surrounding at least a portion of the cavity and configured to produce an axial magnetic field. At least one pair of waveguides couple the cavity to an RF source configured to generate an RF wave. The RF wave is a superposition of two orthogonal TEtransverse electric modes excited in quadrature to produce an azimuthally rotating standing-wave mode configured to accelerate the beam of electrons axially entering the cavity with non-linear cyclotron resonance acceleration.
