Electron linear accelerators are used as x-ray generators for diagnosing the human body. In this paper conceptual design of electron beam for compact electron gun was calculated by using EGN2w and CST-Particle Studio codes. The structure of the electron gun was used for Pierce and diode type and the specification of electron beam was selected as 500 cGy/min. Specifications of designed electron gun were focused on current, beam size and normalized emittance. Optimized beam current, diameter and normalized emittance are 226.88 mA, 0.689 mm (Full width) and 1.03π mm• mrad, respectively by using two simulation codes. Accuracy of simulation was verified by comparison of emitted beam current which has error of 0.74%.

The X-band RF linear accelerators (LINAC’s) are popular for medical application due to its compactness. To increase the precision of treatment accuracy under circumstance in which the LINAC is mounted on an apparatus such as gantry frame or robot-arm; this is an advantage as the weight and size are more reduced. It is a 9.3 GHz magnetron with the most readily available RF generator in the X-band frequencies from 8 GHz to 12 GHz and the magnetron is mainly used for the source of the RF power in a compact LINAC. The average power of the magnetron at 9.3~GHz is generally a few MW and this amount could provide a sufficient radiation dose-rate for tumour therapy. KAERI has been developing a new compact 9.3 GHz X-band electron LINAC for a cancer treatment system. The maximum energy of the electron beam is 6 MeV and the average beam power at the tungsten target is about 1 kW. In this paper, we describe the status of development of the 6 MeV X-band LINAC at KAERI.
