  A compact electron linear accelerator for the medical application has been developing at Sungkyunkwan University. Due to this electron linac is attached on the robot arm or gantry, it should be compact enough to be held by the structure. An X-band technology has been used to meet the requirements for the compact linac. Because the particle accelerator is complex and sensitive machine to design it takes a lot of time to get a good performance accelerator. In this research, a special technique named single-objective genetic algorithm for the optimization process has been applied to achieve a better RF cavity design by changing various geometric parameters.

  Diode type electron gun is developed for a S-band linear accelerator which is used for X-ray inspection system. Thermal analysis of the electron gun has been carried out for the optimizing the design of cathode support and heat shield. The simulation of thermal expansion of the cathode support and heat shield structure is done for avoiding electrical breakdown. Performance of the gun assembly, designed and developed with thermal requirements, has been evaluated experimentally
