Description

The compact accelerator assumes a pivotal role within the medical domain, necessitating higher frequencies to attain smaller size. Presently, the most condensed medical accelerators predominantly operate in the X-band, with dimensions typically akin to platform sizes. To achieve further refinement in accelerator system design compactness, elevated operating frequencies become imperative. We delineates the design of a pi/2 mode accelerator tube based on the Ku-band (15 GHz), incorporating standing-wave axis coupling. Through meticulous simulation and analysis utilizing ANSYS HFSS, the proposed design achieves notable results: an input power of 0.8 MW, an output electron energy of 3 MeV, and an electron capture efficiency of 28%. The ultimate optimization of the longitudinal length of the accelerator tube to 10 cm signifies the realization of a more compact design paradigm for medical accelerators.
