Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a) an accelerator sub-system that generates a high-energy ion beam, wherein the accelerator sub-system comprises:
i) an ion source plasma chamber,
ii) a microwave generating component which generates microwaves,
iii) a power source operably linked to the microwave generating component,
iv) a waveguide positioned to receive the microwaves and deliver them to the ion source plasma chamber, wherein when the microwaves contact a gas in the ion plasma chamber to generate a source of ions;
v) an ion beam extraction component that is operably linked to the ion source plasma chamber to extract a low-energy ion beam from the ion plasma chamber,
iv) an accelerator component comprising an accelerator column, an accelerator entrance opening for receiving a low-energy ion beam, and an accelerator exit opening for delivering a high-energy ion beam; and

b) a power modulating component operably linked to the power source, wherein the power modulating component is configured to modulate power flowing from the power source to the microwave generating component.
