Abstract
The details of construction of an improved induction accelerator which gives electrons 20-million electron-volts energy are described. The accelerator has a 19-inch diameter pole face and weighs approximately 3.5 tons. The x-ray output as measured in a thick wall ionization chamber is 16 r.p.m. at one meter. The most important improvement incorporated in this accelerator is the electromagnetic expansion of the equilibrium orbit which can be timed to send the electrons against the target at any desired energy up to 20 million electron volts. The accelerator is now in use at the University of Illinois.
