Abstract
A standing-wave linear charged particle accelerator is disclosed which comprises a plurality of interlaced substructures, with each substructure having a plurality of accelerating cavities disposed along the particle beam path and having side cavities disposed away from the beam path for electromagnetically coupling the accelerating cavities. A standing radio-frequency electromagnetic wave is supported in each substructure, with the wave in each substructure being phased with respect to the wave in every other substructure so that the particle beam will experience a maximum energy gain throughout its path through the accelerator. A single input waveguide is divided into plural branches to individually drive each of the substructures.
