description

Abstract This article is concerned with a generalized microtron, characterized essentially by the number of magnet pairs in its bending system. It is shown that the most serious physical energy limit of the microtron, emittance growth due to synchrotron radiation, may be overcome if this number is raised essentially above what has been considered in the past. The main properties of such “polytrons” are investigated and several design examples for 15 GeV output energy are discussed.
