Accelerator for the acceleration of charged particles and method for operating an accelerator

摘要

The present invention relates to an accelerator for the acceleration of charged particles, comprising at least two delay lines with different delay, wherein the at least two delay lines have an inlet side, in which electromagnetic waves to produce an accelerating electrical potential can be introduced, wherein the input side of the delay lines for the reflection of electromagnetic waves is formed, and that the accelerating electrical potential of at least partially located in the region of the reflected waves at the input side can be generated. The present invention relates to a method for operating an accelerator, which at least two delay lines with different delay, wherein the at least two delay lines have an inlet side, in which electromagnetic waves to produce an accelerating electrical potential are introduced, wherein the electromagnetic waves introduced into the delay lines are reflected at the input side, and in that the accelerating electrical potential of at least partially located in the region of the reflected waves at the input side is generated.
