A device used for accelerating electrons which are used for radiotherapy treatments. The electrons may be made to strike a target before leaving the machine, thus producing x rays as a second treatment modality.
A circular electron accelerator that produces either high energy electrons or x-ray photons.
An apparatus known as a magnetic induction accelerator employs the dynamic interplay of a fluctuating magnetic field to propel electrons with increased velocity. Within this mechanism, electrons are introduced into a toroidal vacuum chamber nestled amidst the magnetic poles of an iron-core magnet. The rate at which the magnetic flux and magnetic field alter at the orbit radius is intricately connected, ensuring a steadfast radius for the electrons undergoing acceleration.
