Claim 6:
7. A system comprising:
a) a direct-injection accelerator sub-system that generates a high-energy ion beam, wherein the accelerator 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 an ion beam is generated;
v) an extraction component that is operably linked to the ion source plasma chamber,
iv) an accelerator component comprising an accelerator column and an accelerator entrance opening for receiving the ion beam; and

b) a vacuum component, wherein the vacuum component is operably linked to the extraction component and/or the accelerator component, wherein the vacuum component is configured to reduce pressure in the extraction component and/or the accelerator component.
