Description
Summary:The microtron (1) 2 (electron cyclotron) depends upon a cavity resonator for its electron source and for turn acceleration. The geometrical requirements, particularly those pertaining to the electron orbit clearance which such a resonator has to meet in a conventional microtron are discussed for a series of resonator forms. The confocal ellipsoidal-hyperboloidal resonators due to Hansen and Richtmeyer (2) seem to be best in respect to shunt resistance and associated Q. An analytical procedure for determining the parameters for specified accelerator conditions is developed.Resonators which have been developed for X- and K-band microtrons (3) are described.
