Developing a Two-Section 8-MeV Linear Electron Accelerator for Applied Research

Results are presented from designing an 8-MeV linear electron accelerator associated with modeling a two-section accelerating structure and microwave power coupler devices. The dynamics of the electron beam in the accelerator is simulated using the BEAMDULAC-BL program. Results are used to adjust a electrodynamic model of the accelerating structure with couplers and obtain values of its electrodynamic characteristics.
