Abstract
A linear accelerator having multiple cavities along a beamline that is powered by a pair of distribution waveguide manifolds with a sequence of feed arms connecting the manifolds to the cell sections and a single RF feed is described herein. The distribution waveguide manifolds are connected to the cell sections so that alternating pairs of cell sections are connected to opposite distribution waveguide manifolds. The individual cavities are individually optimized according to the electron speed along the beamline. The geometry of the cell junctions and connecting channels between the manifolds and cavities can be individually optimized along the beamline as well and can include a serpentine configuration to provide a consistent RF channel length between the manifolds and differing cavities. Methods of designing the linear accelerator and fabricating the accelerator are also provided.
