Simulation Technique for RF Signal Propagation in TW Structure for Medical Proton Linac

Abstract

A simulation technique for the RF signal propagation in a traveling wave accelerating structure by the method of equivalent circuits is described. Calculations have been carried out for the propagation of a signal with a frequency of 2856 MHz in an accelerating structure with a constant gradient consisting of 102 cells. The possibility of changing the energy of an accelerated beam through rotation of the signal phase within a long pulse is shown.
