TI - An X-Band Linac with Tunable Beam Energy J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - The low-energy X-band linac has a wide application in medical imaging. In this paper, an X-band linac is designed to produce beam energy between 0.5MeV and 1.5MeV, and the output beam energy is continuously adjustable within this range. Two sections of linacs are combined and powered by a single microwave source. During the experiment, we can tune the RF phase and amplitude of the second section of the linac, the electron beam can see either acceleration or deceleration, which tunes the output energy. This paper presented the production of the whole linac system, as well as the measurement of the continuously-adjustable beam energy.
