Abstract
The present interest in linear accelerators for nuclear physics and medical use, which has arisen from the development of microwave valves and waveguide techniques during the war, is reviewed, and the various types of microwave linear accelerator are briefly described. The operation of travelling wave, standing wave, and multi-cavity accelerators is then described in detail. The theoretical and practical limitations of the performance of each type of accelerator at a design frequency of 3000 Mc/s (10-cm. wavelength) are discussed. The design of linear accelerators at this frequency suitable for medical use is discussed, and tentative layouts of 5-MeV and 10-MeV machines are given.
