We describe the design and technical characteristics of a C-band SW accelerating structure of a 12 MeV race-track microtron, which is under construction at the Technical University of Catalonia, and its RF system with a 5712 MHz magnetron as a source. Results of cold tests of the accelerating structure, before and after the brazing, and of high-power tests of the RF system at a special stand are reported. The main features of the magnetron frequency stabilization subsystem are also outlined.

The Technical University of Catalonia is building a miniature 12 MeV electron race-track microtron for medical applications. In the paper we study the leakage radiation caused by beam losses inside the accelerator head, as well as the bremstrahlung radiation produced by the primary beam in the commissioning setting. Results of Monte Carlo simulations using the PENELOPE code are presented and two shielding schemes, global and local, are studied. The obtained shielding parameters are compared with estimates based on international recommendations of the radiation safety standards.
