  • Publication number: 20150084549
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for controlling a standing wave accelerator and a system thereof. The method comprises: generating, by an electron gun, an electron beam; injecting the electron beam into an accelerating tube; and controlling a microwave power source to generate and input microwave with different frequencies into the accelerating tube, so that the accelerating tube switches between different resonant modes at a predetermined frequency to generate electron beams with corresponding energy. According to the above solution, it only needs to change the output frequency of the microwave power source in the process of adjusting energy, without making any change to the accelerating structure per se. Therefore, the method is easy to operate. In addition, the structure of the accelerating tube in the above system is simple, without adding a particular regulation apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20140185776
    Abstract: An apparatus and method to generate distributed x-rays. A hot cathode of an electron gun is used in vacuum to generate electron beams having certain initial movement energy and speed. Periodic scanning is performed with the initial low-energy electron beams, which are thus caused to be reciprocally deflected. A current-limiting device is provided in the travel path of the electron beams along the direction of the reciprocal deflection. Through holes arranged in an array on the current-limiting device, only part of the electron beams targeting specific positions can pass to form sequential electron beam currents distributed in an array. These electron beam currents are accelerated by a high-voltage electric field to obtain high energy, bombard an anode target, and thus sequentially generate corresponding focus spots and x-rays distributed in an array at the anode target.
