Abstract:
1. A stabilized radio-frequency (“RF”) accelerator system, comprising: an RF accelerator to accelerate charged particles; an RF source coupled to the accelerator to provide RF power into the accelerator; a charged particle source coupled to the accelerator to inject charged particles into the accelerator; at least one high voltage electric power supply coupled to the RF source and the charged particle source to provide electric power thereto; at least one controller configured to: cause supply of high voltage electric power from the at least one high voltage electric power supply to at least one of the RF source or the charged particle source without accelerating charged particles injected by the charged particle source, during a warm-up time period; and cause supply of high voltage electric power from the at least one high voltage electric power supply to the RF source and to the charged particle source during at least partially overlapping times, to accelerate charged particles injected by the charged particle source, during a beam-on time period.
