Description
We report on cold test measurements of an X-band (11.424 GHz) accelerator to provide electron beams for Very High Energy Electron therapy of cancer. The standing wave linac is designed with a 135° phase advance utilizing distributed coupling through four parallel manifolds. The accelerator is expected to reach a 100 MeV/m accelerating gradient in a one-meter structure using only 19 MW when operating around 77 K. We will present measurements from a clamped benchtop test at room temperature of the assembled linac plates prior to bonding. These fabricated prototypes will be diffusion bonded.
