Normal conducting linac “Particle accelerators are also an essential part of the Nation‘s technicalinfrastructure for health care, for industry and for national security. One third ofthe 15,000 accelerators in operation worldwide are used in radiotherapy andalmost two-thirds are used for industrial applications such as semiconductor production, sterilization and materials preparation or in processes such as x-raymicro-machining. Ultra-fast x-ray sources are being developed and used fornuclear stockpile stewardship, and accelerators are deployed for everyday use innoninvasive x-ray inspection of cargo containers.“ - The U.S. DOE Office of Science occasional paper
Normal conducting linac • Almost all commercial applications of accelerators and rf power use normalconducting technologies. • These applications generally do not require the high powerand high gradients used for a linear collider, but are concerned with cost, and often require compact products that can be easily transported or used in a constrainedspace. • X-band radar systems driven by TWT amplifiers similar to thoseneeded for the X-band collider are used on aircraft, ships, and satellites where spaceand weight are important considerations An example of one such use inNASA’s Mission to Planet Earth is given in reference [4].
X-band in Medical “The next generation of high-energy linear accelerator will be based on X-bandtechnology. The collateral technical opportunities for radiation oncology thatwill arise from Federal investments in this technology should not be missed. Inprinciple, a new generation of linear accelerators should become available that are roughly one-third as large as current systems. The first implementation ofthis technology is a self-contained intra-operative linear accelerator.” - The U.S. National Cancer Institute report
X-band in Medical • An X-band linear accelerator powered by a magnetron and delivering electron beamsof 4-12 MeV, in the intra-operative Mobetron produced by Intraop andSiemens. • The CyberKnife is produced by Accuray and distributed throughout theU.S. and Asia. • An X-band linac with PPM klystrons, currently beingdeveloped for medical use at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences incollaboration with University of Tokyo and KEK, forMobetron Inter-Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT) machine by Intraop and with Siemens Medical Systems. • Stereotactic Radiosurgery at the Okayama Kyokuto Hospital in Okayama, Japan
