Description
Standing wave linacs with energy from 4 MeV to 20 MeV were used or proposed for FLASH Radiation Therapy (RT), due to easy fabrication and low cost. We proposed an X-band beam generation module based on a multi-beam klystron and a standing wave linac. This module can be used for the FLASH RT as well as traditional Intra-Operative Electron Radiation Therapy. The klystron generates RF pulses with a peak power of 3 MW and a pulse length of 4 us. The standing wave linac consists two section. The energy can be changed from 6 MeV to 12 MeV by changing the power level and phase of the input pulse for the second section. The RF and mechanical designs of the module as well as a prototype of the linac are presented and discussed in this paper.
