Abstract
An RF generator has a hollow conductor having a conductive wall. The wall has a first slot, over which a first solid-state switch is arranged in order to apply a radiofrequency electrical voltage through the first slot.
Claims20
An RF generator for the generation of RF power and the delivery of the generated RF power, wherein the generated RF power is to be coupled into a cavity of a particle accelerator, comprising:
- a hollow conductor having a conductive wall, the wall comprising a first longitudinal slot elongated along a longitudinal direction of the hollow conductor and perpendicular to a direction of current flow during an excited resonant mode in the hollow conductor;
- and
- a first solid-state switch extending across the first slot along a circumferential direction of the conductive wall to apply a radiofrequency electrical voltage through the first slot.
A particle accelerator comprising:
- a particle accelerator cavity;
- and
- an RF generator coupled to the particle accelerator cavity, the RF generator comprising:
- a hollow conductor having a conductive wall, the wall comprising a first longitudinal slot elongated along a longitudinal direction of the hollow conductor and perpendicular to a direction of current flow during an excited resonant mode in the hollow conductor;
- and
- a first solid-state switch extending across the first slot along a circumferential direction of the conductive wall to apply a radiofrequency electrical voltage through the first slot.
