Abstract
A linear accelerator for generating a beam of charged particles accelerated within a wide energy range without modifying the microwave energy injected into the accelerator structure, this accelerator structure comprising a bunching section and an accelerating section respectively constituted by a plurality of resonant cavities, the cavities of the bunching section being electromagnetically coupled in such a manner that two adjacent cavities are phase-shifted of .pi. one with respect to the other, these bunching and accelerating sections being respectively supplied by a microwave generator delivering a microwave signal w divided, by means of a combined coupler and phase shifter, into two microwave signals w.sub.1, w.sub.2 respectively injected into the accelerating and bunching sections with predetermined amplitudes and phases.
