Abstract
A linear accelerator apparatus may include a beamline enclosure that defines a polygonal backbone, and a plurality of acceleration stages, disposed along a length of the beamline enclosure. A given acceleration stage may include a drift tube assembly to conduct an ion beam therethrough, a resonator, coupled to deliver an RF signal to the drift tube assembly, and a quadrupole assembly to shape the ion beam. As such, at a first acceleration stage, a first resonator may be disposed along a first side of the polygonal backbone, and at a second acceleration stage, adjacent to and downstream of the first acceleration stage, a second resonator may be disposed along a second side of the polygonal backbone, different from the first side.
