Abstract
Apparatus for normalizing and maximizing the performance of a drift tube on the operational axis of a drift tube linac. The apparatus features drift tube positioning through structure which includes orthogonally disposed, facially complementary datum surfaces, interposed which surfaces are dimensionally stable, clamped shim structure. Also offered is independently attachable/detachable (non-dedicated in place) adjustment mechanism employable to effect adjustments in the usual post-coupler structures associated with drift tubes.
