    摘要: A free electron laser system and electron beam system for a free electron laser which use rf feedback to enhance efficiency. Rf energy is extracted from an electron beam by decelerating cavities and returned to accelerating cavities using rf returns such as rf waveguides, rf feedthroughs, etc. This rf energy is added to rf klystron energy to lower the required input energy and thereby enhance energy efficiency of the system.

    摘要: A free electron laser and free electron laser amplifier using beam transport devices for guiding an electron beam to a wiggler of a free electron laser and returning the electron beam to decelerating cavities disposed adjacent to the accelerating cavities of the free electron laser. Rf energy is generated from the energy depleted electron beam after it emerges from the wiggler by means of the decelerating cavities which are closely coupled to the accelerating cavities, or by means of a second bore within a single set of cavities. Rf energy generated from the decelerated electron beam is used to supplement energy provided by an external source, such as a klystron, to thereby enhance overall efficiency of the system.

    摘要: A catalac free electron laser using a rf linac (catalac) which acts as a catalyst to accelerate an electron beam in an initial pass through the catalac and decelerate the electron beam during a second pass through the catalac. During the second pass through the catalac, energy is extracted from the electron beam and transformed to energy of the accelerating fields of the catalac to increase efficiency of the device. Various embodiments disclose the use of post linacs to add electron beam energy extracted by the wiggler and the use of supplementary catalacs to extract energy at various energy peaks produced by the free electron laser wiggler to further enhance efficiency of the catalac free electron laser. The catalac free electron laser can be used in conjunction with a simple resonator, a ring resonator or as an amplifier in conjunction with a master oscillator laser.

    摘要: A linac system having at least two linac structures configured to operate with a resonant coupler. The linac structures and the resonant coupler resonate at the same frequency, are in close proximity, and designed for a relative phase of 0° or 180°. The coupling between the resonant coupler and the linac structures is achieved by slots between the linac structures and the resonant coupler, which allow the magnetic fields of the linac structures to interact with the magnetic field of the resonant coupler. The relative size of the slots determines the relative amplitude of the fields in the linac structures. There are three modes of oscillation, a 0 mode, wherein the linac structures and the resonant coupler are excited in phase, a π/2 mode, wherein the linac structures are excited out of phase and the resonant coupler is nominally unexcited, and the π mode, wherein the linac structures and the resonator coupler are excited out of phase.

    摘要: A source wire is in the path of a neutral particle beam formed from positively and negatively charged particles (ions) and neutral particles (atoms). The source wire strips electrons from the negatively charged particles to neutralize these particles and strips electrons from the neutral particles to create positively charged particles. A magnetic field is perpendicular to the path of the particle movement. A detector wire downstream from the source wire detects the total particle flux. A magnetic field is perpendicular to the path of the particle movement. A variation, preferably cyclical, may be provided in at least one of (a) the characteristics of the magnetic field and (b) the positioning of the detector wire relative to the source wire in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field and the particle movement. The resultant signal produced on the detector wire by the combined action of such magnetic field and/or detector wire movement is processed to indicate the characteristics, including direction, divergence and scattering of the neutral particle beam in a first direction. Second source and detector wires disposed in a direction respectively perpendicular to the first source and detector wires may be subjected to a second magnetic field perpendicular to the first magnetic field and to the particle path to determine the characteristics, including direction and divergence and scattering of the neutral particle beam in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A grid of source and detector wires may also be disposed in the first and second directions to enhance the indications of the characteristics, including direction, divergence and scattering, of the neutral particle beam in the first and second directions.

    摘要: A new RFQ linac structure extends the useful range of beam velocity by a factor of 2 to 4 and beam energy by a factor of 4 to 16. Four-finger electrodes extend into each accelerating cell and provide quadrupole focusing of beam particles along a beam axis. The finger electrodes of adjacent cells also provide quadrupole acceleration of the beam particles along the beam axis. The finger of adjacent cells are oriented in accordance with a prescribed pattern. The pattern orientation of the fingers provides an additional degree of freedom that allows the periodcity of the focal structure to be independent of the periodicity of the accelerating structure. This makes it possible to double the rf frequency periodically to enhance the acceleration rate while holding the focusing strength constant.

    摘要: A target system for producing intense epithermal and sub-MeV neutron fluxes from proton beams by the Li-7(p,n)Be-9 nuclear reaction by use of a layer of solid metallic lithium as the target material, which, in concert with a novel conical substrate to provide support and cooling, is designed to accept proton-beam power densities in excess of 1 MW m−2. The lithium is of limited thickness so that protons exit the lithium layer after reaching the threshold of the (p,n) reaction and deposit their remaining kinetic energy in the cooled substrate. In addition, the target system is configured in a novel geometry intended to confer symmetry around the beam axis of the resulting neutron fields—a feature particularly relevant to utilization of the claimed invention in boron-neutron capture therapy (BNCT).

    摘要: A drift tube linac incorporates rf-electric quadrupole focusing by employing drift tubes with only one drift-tube stem per particle wavelength and in which the lowest frequency RF cavity mode has a transverse magnetic field (TM.sub.010 -mode). Each drift tube comprises two separate electrodes that form a capacitor that couples to the axial electric field of the primary cavity mode. The electrodes operate at different electrical potentials, as determined by the RF fields in the cavity, and are supported by a single stem along the axis of a cylindrical cavity. Each electrode supports two fingers pointing towards the opposite end of the drift tube, forming a four fingered geometry that produces an RF quadrupole field distribution along its axis. The fundamental periodicity of the structure is equal to the particle wavelength (.beta..lambda.) where .beta. is the particle velocity in units of the velocity of light and .lambda. is the free space wavelength of the rf. The particles traverse two distinct regions, namely the gaps between drift tubes, where the acceleration takes place, and the regions inside the drift tubes, where the RF focusing takes place. The linac of the present invention transforms the reverse fields into transverse fields for focusing such that the beam is not decelerated.
