Linac : Linear accelerator • The linear accelerator is a device that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to accelerate charged particles such as electrons to high energies through a linear tube. • There are several types of linear accelerator designs, but the ones used in radiotherapy accelerate electrons either by traveling or stationary electromagnetic waves of frequency in microwave region (≈ 3000 megacycles/sec).
The difference between traveling wave and stationary wave accelerators is the design of the accelerator structure Functionally the traveling wave structures require a terminating, or "dummy", load in order to absorb the residual power at the end of the structure, the standing wave structures provide maximum reflection of the waves at both ends of the structure thus preventing a backward reflected wave the combination of forward and reverse traveling waves will give rise to stationary waves.
