Description

The continuing development of radio-frequency (RF) amplifier technology has paved the way for RF electron accelerators in which each cavity is independently powered, allowing the amplitude and phases to be individually tunable. In this work we study the potential benefits provided by this flexibility in maximizing the capture efficiency in a ≈2 MeV compact accelerator suitable for a wide variety of industrial and medical applications, as well as traditional roles in research and education. Simulations demonstrate capture efficiencies > 90%, far surpassing typical capture efficiencies which are on the 50% scale.
