The design of a cascaded 800 MeV normal conducting C.W. race track microtron

Abstract A c.w. electron accelerator of 820 MeV maximum output energy at 100 μ A beam current is proposed to make possible a large variety of coincidence experiments with energy electrons and photons as a future possibility of new, interesting experiments. It consists of a preaccelerator and 3 cascaded race track microtons using normal conducting rf structures. The design of this accelerator, based on detailed computational investigations of its beam dynamics and some experimental studies, is communicated and partly discussed in this paper.
