Claim Text:
1. A traveling wave accelerator structure comprising: a symmetric RF feed; an input matching cell coupled to the symmetric RF feed; a sequence of regular accelerating cavities coupled to the input matching cell at an input beam pipe end of the sequence; a waveguide parallel to the sequence of regular accelerating cavities, an output matching cell coupled to the sequence of regular accelerating cavities at an output beam pipe end of the sequence of regular accelerating cavities; and output waveguide circuit or RF loads coupled to the output matching cell, wherein the waveguide is coupled at an input end to the symmetric RF feed, coupled at an output end to the output waveguide circuit or RF loads, coupled to the input matching cell, coupled to the output matching cell, and coupled to each of the cavities in the sequence of regular accelerating cavities, wherein each of the regular accelerating cavities has a nose cone that cuts-off field propagating into the beam pipe such that all power flows in a traveling wave along the structure in the waveguide.
