We re­port on the de­vel­op­ment of a cryo­genic X-band (11.424 GHz) ac­cel­er­a­tor to pro­vide elec­tron beams for Very High En­ergy Elec­tron ther­apy. The dis­trib­uted cou­pling linac is de­signed with a 135° phase ad­vance, ca­pa­ble of pro­duc­ing a 100 MeV/m ac­cel­er­at­ing gra­di­ent in a one-me­ter struc­ture using only 19 MW when op­er­at­ing at 77 K. This peak power will be achieved through pulse com­pres­sion of a 5-8 MW few-µs pulse, en­sur­ing com­pat­i­bil­ity with a com­mer­cial power source. We pre­sent de­signs of the cryo­genic linac and power dis­tri­b­u­tion sys­tem, as well as a room tem­per­a­ture pulse com­pres­sor using the HE11 mode in a cor­ru­gated cav­ity. We dis­cuss scal­ing this com­pact and eco­nom­i­cal de­sign into a 16 linac array that can achieve FLASH dose rates (> 40 Gy/s) while elim­i­nat­ing the down­time as­so­ci­ated with gantry mo­tion.

We will pre­sent a physics de­sign of a com­pact, highly ef­fi­cient, en­ergy-tun­able linac to gen­er­ate up to 500 W of 10 MeV elec­tron beam power for med­ical and se­cu­rity ap­pli­ca­tions. This linac will em­ploy a patented trav­el­ling wave ac­cel­er­at­ing struc­ture with out­side power flow which com­bines the ad­van­tages of high ef­fi­ciency with en­ergy tun­abil­ity of trav­el­ing wave cav­i­ties. Un­like stand­ing wave struc­tures, the pro­posed struc­ture has lit­tle power re­flected back to the RF source, elim­i­nat­ing the need for a heavy, lossy wave­guide iso­la­tor. In con­trast to the side-cou­pled cav­ity de­signs, the pro­posed struc­ture is sym­met­ri­cal and there­fore it does not have de­flect­ing axial fields that im­pair the beam trans­port. The high shunt im­ped­ance will allow the linac to achieve an out­put en­ergy of up to 10 MeV when pow­ered by a com­pact com­mer­cial 9.3 GHz 1.7 MW mag­netron. For pulse-to-pulse tun­ing of the beam out­put en­ergy we will change of the beam-loaded gra­di­ent by vary­ing the tri­ode gun cur­rent.
