Abstract
The 500-kilovolt accelerator described is of the Cockcroft–Walton type and is operated at a frequency of 32 kc. It is pressurized for compactness. The circuit comprises 24 stages and is terminated by an inductive load which increases the output voltage by a factor of 1.5. The rectifier filaments are heated by utilizing the current flowing through the stray capacitances of the rectifiers. The circuit calculations are given and the design is described briefly.
