Electron filed measurement of a prototype tube constructed for a traveling wave electron linear accelerator

Abstract

The purpose of electron linear accelerator project in Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM) has been to design and construct a S-band electron linear accelerator in such a way that all its parts be designed and built in Iran as much as possible. For more detailed evaluations and assurance, a cooper accelerating tube with the exact same specification of the main accelerating tube has also been constructed. After designing and constructing prototype tube, it was measured by applying slater perturbation method in resonance mode and steel method in non-resonance mode. Adaption of electric field in different modes for the accelerating tube after tuning with simulation values shows the accuracy of the applied construction and mesurment methods
