Preliminary Tests of a Modified Electron Source for a Medical Therapeutic Accelerator
摘要
Abstract—
A compact modified thermionic electron source for a 6 MeV medical accelerator has been developed. The gun features a significantly reduced size due to a modified power supply scheme. Beam characteristics were calculated for this electron source. After assembling the gun, it was tested, and corresponding experimental data was obtained, which is in good agreement with the simulation results.
