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; an electric power source coupled to the RF source and the charged particle source to provide electric power thereto; and a controller coupled to the electric power source to control operation of the electric power source, the controller configured to generate a compensated control voltage based, at least in part, on a nominal control voltage and a compensation voltage, and to provide the compensated control voltage to the electric power source, the compensation voltage compensating for dose and/or energy instability in the respective acceleration system; wherein: the electric power provided to the RF source by the electric power source is based, at least in part, on the compensated control voltage; and the compensated control voltage is based, at least in part, on past performance of the system determined by testing of the system.
