New Compact Tem-Type Deflecting And Crabbing Rf Structure, J. R. Delayen, H. Wang

Physics Faculty Publications

A new type of rf structure for the deflection and crabbing of particle beams is presented. The structure is comprised of a number of parallel TEM resonant lines operating in opposing phase from each other. One of its advantages is its compactness compared to conventional crabbing cavities operating in the TM₁₁₀ mode, thus allowing low frequency designs. This geometry would also be effective for the deflection of beams propagating at velocities substantially less than that of light.
