- 2 is an illustration of the parameters of each major system of the accelerator when alternately generating X-rays having different energies, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Schematic diagram of the relationship.
- the electron guns have different electron emission capabilities at different voltage amplitudes.
- the two different high voltage amplitudes generated by the pulse modulator driving the electron gun cause the electron gun to emit electron beam currents of different current intensities, i.e., the electron beam streams having different beam loads 10a and 11a as shown in Fig. 2 are obtained.
- E J - BI , where E is the acceleration electron energy, / is the beam intensity of the accelerated electron beam, is the microwave power fed into the acceleration section, and S is a predetermined constant. According to the beam loading effect, different electron beam currents are accelerated to obtain high energy electron beams of different energies.
- Figure 1 B is a schematic diagram showing the beam loading effect. As shown by curve 2 in Figure 1B, the greater the intensity of the beam load, the less energy the beam is accelerated in the accelerating tube. When the intensity of the pulsed electron beam is large, that is, the beam load intensity is strong, a small microwave power is fed into the accelerating tube. Therefore, an electron beam having a relatively small energy can be obtained. Conversely, when the beam load of the electron beam is small, a relatively high power microwave will be fed to obtain an electron beam having a relatively large energy.
- Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the acceleration of electron energy changes when the beam load is simultaneously changed and the microwave power is fed. As shown in Fig. 3, while changing the beam load, the power of the microwave is changed synchronously, and the energy finally obtained by the electron beam is further changed. This results in a larger energy gap between the accelerated electron beams of the two different beam loads.

It can be seen from Fig. 1 C that the greater the power of the fed microwave when the beam load is constant, the greater the energy obtained by the acceleration of the beam. If the system is operating in the first mode, that is, in the power mode, in the case where the first electron beam has the beam load 10a, the electron beam is accelerated by the first microwave having the microwave power of 10b to obtain high-energy electrons having the electron beam energy 10c. bundle. Then, the high-energy electron beam is targeted to generate high-energy X-rays with an energy of 10 days.
- a second microwave having a power of 11 b will be fed into the accelerating tube, the amplitude of which is less than the power of the first microwave 10b, and the second of the beam load is 11 a.
- the electron beam is accelerated to obtain a low energy electron beam having an electron beam energy of 11 c.
- the low energy electron beam is then used to target low energy X-rays with an energy of 11d. In this way, the system alternates between high energy mode and low energy mode, so X-rays that alternate in energy.

- the second pulse modulator 404 provides voltages HV2 or LV2 of different amplitudes according to the synchronization signal.
- the first pulse modulator 401 and the second pulse modulator 404 may use a gate gun power supply with alternate gate pulse amplitudes to power the gated electron gun, or in the case where the electron gun 402 is a two-pole electron gun, the output voltage is Two different small rigid tube pulse modulators supply power to the two-pole gun in a time-sharing manner.
- the pulse intervals of the pulses generated by the first and second pulse modulators may be equal or unequal.
- Fig. 4B is a schematic diagram showing the power supply to the two-pole electron gun in a time-division manner by two small rigid tube pulse regulators which constitute different pulse voltages of the pulse modulator 401 shown in Fig. 4A.
- the output of the pressing power source 1 and the high voltage power source 2 is connected to the driving circuit of the electron gun, and the driving circuit is connected to the pulse synchronization and switching control circuit, and the pulse synchronization and switching control circuit is based on the external synchronization signal 1 and synchronization.
- Signal 2 controls module 401a to output a voltage HV1, and control module 401b to output a relatively low voltage LV1.
- the electron gun 402 emits an electron beam beam load of 10a or 11a at different voltage amplitudes.

- the low-amplitude voltages HV2 and LV2 are alternately output by the second pulse modulator 404, so that the operating current of the magnetron 405 is alternately changed, thereby alternately obtaining microwaves of different powers, for example, having a magnitude of 10b.
- the first microwave and the second microwave having a magnitude of 11 b.
- the magnetron can be controlled such that the magnetic field strength of the magnetron 405 is alternately varied and synchronized with its operating current pulse to obtain microwaves of different powers.
- the feeding of different power microwaves can be carried out by the following two methods: 1.

- the accelerator 400 alternately generates high and low energy X-ray beams 606 according to the synchronization signal, and the X-ray beams pass through the collimator
