Description
We will present a concept for a compact and efficient room temperature CW accelerator for industrial applications using a copper linac, magnetron RF and a thermionic electron source. These technologies have been proven reliable in field applications and major components can be sourced commercially. Thermionic cathodes have been shown to have very long operational lifetimes and can be replaced in-situ. Magnetrons are the lowest cost, highest efficiency RF sources available in this frequency range. Leveraging the significant accelerator expertise at JLab, these technologies will be combined to deliver high-power electron beams (up to 100 kW), with energies of 1-5 MeV that are cost-effective to produce and operate.
