Definitions
- This invention relates to charged particle accelerators, and more particularly to linear accelerators of the synchrotron type.
- Linear accelerators of the synchrotron type have not been feasible for producing extremely high particle velocities, for example, on the order of one hundred million electron volts, since the use of a plurality of high-frequency sources to power the accelerator introduced severe problems of synchronizing the phase of the generated energy along the length of the accelerator to produce the desired accelerating fields.

3 Claims.
This invention relates to charged particle accelerators, and more particularly to linear accelerators of the synchrotron type.
Linear accelerators of the synchrotron type have not been feasible for producing extremely high particle velocities, for example, on the order of one hundred million electron volts, since the use of a plurality of high-frequency sources to power the accelerator introduced severe problems of synchronizing the phase of the generated energy along the length of the accelerator to produce the desired accelerating fields. Indeed, the problem of synchronizing the energy sources to the accelerator has heretofore required such bulky and expensive apparatus that this type of particle accelerator has been largely passed over in favor of betatron and cyclotron accelerators.
This invention discloses apparatus whereby synchronization of the voltages of the accelerating electrodes may be readily and inexpensively accomplished. Briefly, this is accomplished by using as the accelerating voltage source a linear magnetron extending along the linear accelerating structure with energy coupled from the cavities of the magnetron to the accelerating electrodes of the linear accelerator at discrete points along the lengths thereof.
Specifically, this invention discloses that the coupling between the magnetron and the accelerator may be achieved by slots extending from anode cavities of the magnetron into the spaces between adjacent accelerating electrodes, adjaoent accelerating electrodes, together with the cylindrical wall surrounding said electrodes, defining substantially toroidal cavities. It should be clearly undertsood that any desired type or shape of accelerator cavity can be used. Indeed, other forms of accelerating structures such as wire electrodes could be used.
This invention further discloses that, by separating the slots which feed adjacent cavities of the accelerator from the magnetron-anode structure by an even number of cavities in said anode structure between the cavities of said anode structure which feed said slots, or by an odd number of anode vane members, said adjacent accelerator cavities will be fed substantially out of phase with each other, thereby producing the desired accelerating fields.
This invention further discloses that the linear magnetron may be made to operate more stably by terminating the end cavities of the magnetron-anode structure in impedance corresponding to the characteristic impedance of said anode structure, and by the use of conductive strapping between alternate anode members of the anode structure.
Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent as the description thereof progresses, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 illustrates a longitudinal, cross-sectional view of a linear accelerator embodying this invention, taken along line ll of Fig. 2;
Fig. 2 illustrates a transverse, cross-sectional view of the device shown in Fig. 1, taken along line 22 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 illustrates a partially broken away perspective view of a portion of the device shown in Figs. 1 and 2 illustrating constructional details thereof.
Referring now to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, there is shown a hollow, cylindrical member ii] which may be made, for example, of any desired conductive metal, such as copper. Spaced along the axis of cylinder ill and attached to the interior wall thereof is a plurality of metallic disks H. Disks I I are spaced along the axis of cylinder IQ transverse thereto at intervals substantially equal to one-half the free space wave length of the frequency applied to the device. For example, if a frequency of 3,000 megacycles is used, spacing between the disk members I I would be on the order of five centimeters. The disks ll have holes 12 through their centers coaxial with the axis of cylinder l0, such that charged particles, for example, electrons, entering cylinder H3 at one end thereof may pass through the cylinder It along the axis thereof through the holes 52 in the disks H. It may be seen that adjacent disks ii, together with the space therebetween, form toroidal cavities which may be excited, such that the elec-- trostatic lines therein extend between the disks 1 I with the greatest intensities being around the holes I2.
A suitable method of exciting the toroidal cavities comprises slots 43 in the wall of cylinder iii, for example, one slot exciting each toroidal cavity by being positioned substantially half way between the disks l i defining said cavity and being transverse to the axis of cylinder iii. The slots l3 extend into the cavities of anode structure id of a linear magnetron.
The linear magnetron may be of any desired type and structure, the example shown here comprising an evacuated envelope, a portion of which comprises an outer wall portion of the cylinder at, which, together with side walls It and It and bottom wall ll, defines the space containing the anode structure and the cathode assembly of said linear magnetron. The ends of this space are closed by end plates l8 and I9, respectively. The cylinder Ill is also closed by end plates 23 and Z I, respectively, such that the entire assembly is vacuumtight.
Extending outwardly from the wall of cylinder I6 into the space defined by side and bottom walls l5, I6 and IT is a plurality of anode members 22 shown here, by way of example, as rectangular vanes. These vanes are positioned transverse to the axis of cylinder Hi, and their edges are spaced from walls l5, l6 and ii. Vanes 22 are rigidly attached, as by silver soldering, to the exterior wall of cylinder l3.
In addition, in order to insure stability of operation of the magnetron, the end cavities of the anode structure may be terminated in the characteristic impedance of the anode structure in the following manner. Pick-up loops 33 are positioned in the end cavities, one end of the loops 33 being attached to the sleeve 3! inserted through end plates l3 and I9, respectively, and threadedly secured thereto. The other ends of loops 36 extend through sleeves 3i spaced from the walls thereof and through glass seals Outside the glass seals, the loop leads are connected through resistive loads 33 to ground, such as the envelope of the linear magnetron.
On the opposite edges of vanes 22 from the points of attachment thereof to cylinder i3 is positioned a cathode structure 23. Cathode 23 may be of any desired type. For example, as shown here, cathode 23 comprises a planar, metallic member 24 adjacent vanes 22, the side of member 24 closest to vanes 22 being coated with electron-emissive material 25. Positioned on the other side of member 23 is a heater structure 26. As shown here, heater structure it comprises a plurality of coils which may be connected either in series or in parallel to a heater voltage supply, said coils being surrounded by insulating material, such as, for example, Alundum. The heater structure 26 is surrounded by a metallic structure 27 attached, as by welding, to plate 24 which, as shown here, forms one wall of the structure 27. The entire cathode assembly 23 is insulatedly and rigidly supported with respect to anode members 22 by means of ceramic insulating members 23 attached, as by bonding, to the structure 21 and to the lower magnetron envelope member ll.
One end of the heater structure 23 is connected to a wire lead-in member 31 which extends through cylinder 34 insulated therefrom '4 by a glass bead 38 which seals the end of cylinder 34. The other end of the heater structure 26 is attached, as at 39, to the structure 21 and thereby to the cylinder 34. Thus, by the application of a potential between cylinder 34 and lead-in member 31, as by a battery 40, aheater current may be made to flow through the heater structure 26.
A magnetic field for the linear magnetron is provided by means of a permanent magnet 4|, the poles of magnet 41 being positioned against the outer surfaces of side walls [3 and [6, respectively, at points adjacent the space between the anode members 22 and the cathode plate member 24. While any type of magnet may be used, the particular one shown here is made up of aseries of laminations for ease of fabrication and magnetization.
If a voltage is applied between the cathode 23 and the anode members 22, for example, by means of a high voltage supply 32, and the oathode 23 is heated by the heater structure 26, electrons emitted from said cathode will be directed past the edges of anode members 22 setting up self-sustaining oscillations in the cavities defined by the anode vanes.
The resonant frequency of the linear magnetron is governed by the anode structure cavities, and should have a free space wave length substantially equal to twice the distance between adjacent disks H in the cylinder it. If particles are introduced into one end of the cylinder It with an initial velocity of, for example, a million electron volts, they will have a velocity close to the velocity of light. Accordingly, if they are 1n phase with the fields in the toroidal cavities between the disks H, they will be accelerated by these fields passing through each in turn until they reach the other end of cylinder it, whereupon they may be utilized by being passed through an opening in the end plate 23, said opening being covered by a thin, metallic member 43 made, for example, of beryllium. The accelerated particle may be then used for any desired purpose, such as bombardment of a target.
While there has been illustrated here a one million volt electron gun 33 as a source of charged particles, namely, electrons, any desired high speed charged particle source could be utilized. Indeed, the particles could be introduced into the accelerator at lower velocities with the distances between adjacent disks :5 l, toward the end of cylinder It at which said particles were introduced, being made less than one-half a wave length in order to produce the desired phase locking between the charged particles and the accelerating fields. In the form shown here, adjacent toroidal cavities should be excited with fields which are one hundred and eighty degrees out of phase in order to produce the desired particle acceleration. In order to excite adj acont toroidal cavities out of phase, they should be fed through slots !3 which are coupled to cavities of the magnetronanode structure which are separated even number of anode cavities of the anode structure, or by an odd number of anode members 22.
In order to adjust the system for optimum operation, suitable variable tuning devices may be incorporated therein, if desired. As illustrated herein, by way of example only, the tuning devfor the magnetron comprise metallic plung 46 inserted through side walls l5 and 5 at tervals along the length of said walls. inner ends of the plungers 45 are positioned adjacent the straps 29 such that movement of the ends of said plungers toward or away from said straps will vary the capacitance between said straps, thereby tuning the frequency and relative phase of oscillations generated along the length of the anode structure.
As shown here, movement of the plungers is produced by rotation of bushings 46 surrounding reduced portions of said plungers, said bushings being threaded through walls I5 and IS. The system is maintained vacuumtight at the tuning devices by means of bellows 41 sealed to plungers 45 and walls l5 and I6, and surrounding said plungers. Adjustment of the accelerator cavities may be accomplished by tuning additional tuning plungers 45 extending through the walls of cylinder 19, for example, two into each cavity thereof, as shown at 48.
This completes the description of the specific embodiment of the invention illustrated herein. However, many modifications thereof will be apparent to persons skilled in the art Without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention. For example, other types of integrated high-frequency generators, such as cavity klystrons, could be substituted for the linear magnetron. Other coupling structures could be used in place of slots I3 as, for example, loops or probes, and other configurations of the magnetron-anode cavities could be used. Accordingly, it is desired that this invention be not limited by the particular details of the embodiment described herein, except as defined by the appended claims.

1. An electron-discharge device comprising an evacuated envelope containing a charged particle accelerating structure, a source of alternating voltages coupled to said structure, said source comprising a linear magnetron, and a plurality of separate energy coupling means at a plurality of points spaced along said magnetron and said structure for coupling the output energy of said magnetron out of said magnetron and into said accelerating structure.
