The performance of a compact high-current circular microtron is investigated by means of computer simulation. The microtron investigated here is operated with the Russian second type of acceleration and has an electron gun, composed of a cathode and an anode, located outside the accelerating cavity. The simulation results enable us to see the possibility of stable acceleration, to estimate the capture coefficient, and to predict the initial conditions necessary for stable acceleration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
