Description

The energy switch of axis-coupled standing wave accelerator tube
The present invention relates to a kind of energy switch of axis-coupled standing wave accelerator tube, belong to the high-energy physics technical field.
Electron linear accelerator is the effect accelerated electron beam that utilizes microwave electromagnetic field, makes it to improve the equipment of energy; Final exportable electron ray or beat heavy metal target and the X ray that produces by high-power electron beam.Usually medical electron linear accelerator can be divided into three types of low energy (4-6MeV), middle energy (8-12MeV) and high energy (15-25MeV); An accelerator provides a kind of ray of energy, defines radiocurable scope.Now having developed in the world has the adjustable high energy medical electron linear accelerator of many grades of energy (E line, X line), but a tractor serves several purposes can satisfy clinically in patient different sign and tumour characteristics, formulates the needs of therapeutic regimen.
The core component of wave ekctrinl inear accelerator is a resident wave accelerating pipe, and the resident wave accelerating pipe that works in (pi/2) mould is a kind of double-periodic coupled cavity chain, promptly is coupled to form alternately by accelerating cavity chain and coupled cavity chain.Developed various dissimilar bi-period structures have been arranged; As limit coupling, axle coupling, coaxial coupling and loop coupling etc.The coupling cavity of various structures all is in the nodal point that the standing wave accelerating field distributes, and electronics is quickened not contribution, but because the coupling of coupled cavity chain passband, has guaranteed the stability of (pi/2) mould bi-period structure microwave transmission.
Press that microwave field is to the effect of electron beam in the accelerating cavity, accelerating tube can be divided into bunching section and main accelerating sections two parts.By electron gun injected electrons line, at first finish phase collecting process in microwave field through bunching section, energy is accelerated to about 1-2MeV simultaneously, and speed enters main accelerating sections after near the light velocity again; Thereafter the phase place of the relative accelerating field of line is constant substantially, and further power spectrum becomes in the process of quickening, and energy increases.Therefore the optimal design of pack process has directly influenced the quality of final power spectrum and accelerator output ray.Regulate the input parameter of accelerating tube,, can change the field distribution in the accelerating tube, be able to the energy of modulation accelerator output ray as microwave power, frequency or beam loading etc.; But, cause the pack condition to change, thereby will influence the quality of beam of accelerator because the bunching section field distribution also is changed simultaneously.Therefore various modulation tech unlikely problem expansion that influences the line power spectrum round seeking the modulation acceleration energy.
Recent two decades develops in the world " energy switch " technology that is applicable to the limit coupled standing wave accelerator tube, a plurality of patents of invention have been declared by companies such as U.S. Varian and Japanese NEC, the acquisition application on many grades of adjustable modern high energy medical electron linear accelerator commodity machines of energy that has.As the disclosed a kind of high energy switch of U.S. Pat .4286192, its structure as shown in Figure 1, its operation principle is exactly the middle metallic piston governor motion (2) that inserts of side coupling cavity (1) that selected certain is called switch cavity in accelerating tube master accelerating sections, the field distribution of artificial this coupling cavity of change, thereby changed the mode of operation of this coupling cavity, caused off resonance, phase change or make (1) accelerating cavity (3) adjacent and the coupling coefficient of (4) become unequal with its front and back; According to coupled resonance loop theory as can be known, above-listed various effect can realize that all modulation master accelerating sections (4) chamber reaches the field intensity of each accelerating cavity later on, keep the front to comprise that the field distribution of each accelerating cavity of poly-speed section is constant simultaneously, thereby reach the modulation beam energy and do not change the purpose of power spectrum.
Because the coupling cavity of limit coupled structure all is distributed on the limit wall of accelerating tube away from axis, and is all comparatively convenient for energy switch Unit Installation and modulation, external patented technology all is applied to the limit coupled structure at present.But for the limited axle coupled structure of geometric space, existing energy switch device is then all inapplicable.
The objective of the invention is to design a kind of energy switch of axis-coupled standing wave accelerator tube, it is little than the limit coupling to consider that axis-coupled standing wave accelerator tube has breadth wise dimension, the homogeneous tube compact conformation, axial symmetry is convenient to advantages such as welding and cooling, and the set technique and the experience of existing development low energy and middle energy axis-coupled standing wave accelerator tube, therefore in the project of many grades of adjustable high energy medical electron linear accelerators of development energy, adopt axle coupling standing wave accelerating structure.The energy switch technology still belongs to blank at home, and external existing energy switch technology is also inapplicable.The central shaft of the coupled cavity chain of axis-coupled standing wave accelerator tube and accelerating cavity chain is all on the axis of beam channel, and coupling cavity and accelerating cavity are realized intercoupling by two pairs of kidney shape holes on the space bar of chamber respectively, kidney shape hole and be 90 ° and be staggered radial.For the accelerating tube of the about 3GHz of operating frequency, coupling cavity is very thin, the about 3mm of axial dimension.Because the size of coupling cavity itself and the limitation of position, the mode of similar limit coupling is inserted stable modulation mechanism in the switch coupling cavity be very difficult.Existing energy modulation schemes, governor motion and mode of operation all can't directly be used.Purpose of the present invention then is to develop suitable energy changing device at the characteristics of axle coupling standing wave accelerating structure.
The energy switch of the axis-coupled standing wave accelerator tube of the present invention's design comprises stepping motor, worm and gear gear, ball-screw, corrugated flexible hose, energy modulation bar and chamber wall dividing plate.Worm and gear gear, ball screw, corrugated flexible hose and the coaxial installation of energy modulation bar.The core of chamber wall dividing plate is the projection nose cone, and outer ring and center are provided with cooling water channel, and circumference is provided with and axially is 90 ° of staggered kidney shape coupling apertures, and energy modulation bar inserts in the kidney shape coupling aperture.
The model of the axle coupling energy switch of the present invention development is by the measurement of microwave parameter, prove that the switch running really can press designing requirement modulation master accelerating sections field strength distribution, and the field distribution of assurance bunching section is constant.The hermetically sealed axis-coupled standing wave accelerator tube of being furnished with energy switch is by presenting the test of High-Power Microwave and accelerated electron beam, the high frequency breakdown electric discharge phenomena do not appear in switch running choking structure, vacuum seal is normal, and preliminary observation to the effect of beam energy modulation.But energy switch of the present invention will drop on the medical axis-coupled standing wave accelerator tube of high energy of the modulation energy of developing and use.
