Abstract

Recent developments in W-band (∼100 GHz) traveling wave tube technology at Los Alamos may lead to a compact high-power W-band RF source. A conceptual design of a compact 8-MeV electron linac that could be powered by this source is presented, including electromagnetic structure calculations, proposed microfabrication and manufacturing methods, supporting calculations to estimate accelerator performance, and gamma production rates based on preliminary target geometries and expected output beam current. This work is supported by the U. S. Department of Energy Contract W-7405-ENG-36.
