Effect of magnetic field on the performance of S-band linear accelerator system

Abstract

This paper deals with the effect of magnetic field on the performance of magnetron magnetron based high energy S-band linear accelerator (linac) system operating at spot frequency 2.998 GHz. An experimental is carried out to study the effect of the magnetic field on the dose of linac system and it is observed that with the application of proper magnetic field, the dose is increased by more than 22 % which is very useful for accelerator technologists.
