Poster Presentation MC2 - Photon Sources and Electron Accelerators Thursday Poster Session

Speaker

Leanne Duffy (Los Alamos National Laboratory)

Description

The performance of solid-state amplifiers, across a range of metrics, has improved to the point where it is possible to construct a compact accelerator from individually phased and powered single-cell cavities. This distributed drive linear accelerator (DDL) architecture can provide significant advantages over conventional architectures in terms of power efficiency, redundancy, modularity, flexibility of operation, and fault tolerance. Compact DDL accelerators can fill increasing needs for medical and commercial applications, as well as more traditional roles in research, education and security. We have been studying how to advance this concept at Los Alamos National Laboratory, with a specific focus on a few-MeV, high-average-power concept, and overview our efforts and key results on power requirements, beam transport, and structure design.
