Abstract
The design and construction of a 4.5 MeV microtron is described. The machine operates at a wavelength of 10 cm, at a magnetic field of about 1000 gauss. The diameter of the final orbit is approximately 30 cm. A circulating current of about 0.2 αA mean has been observed at a duty cycle of 4 × 10-4, with a 500 kw peak microwave source. A simple and efficient method of beam extraction has been developed. This has enabled a beam of semi-angles 1.5° in the horizontal plane and 0.3° in the vertical plane to be brought into the laboratory. It is concluded that with sufficient radio-frequency power, the output of the microtron should compare favourably with that obtainable from linear accelerators.
