Design principles for high power linear accelerators

Thesis

The demand for high power proton beams is at an all time high. The global community has identified many applications ranging from spallation sources, material irradiation facilities and secondary beams factories to accelerator driven systems for energy production, transmutation of waste or production of tritium.

The typical path to high power beams involves the use of a linac at least in the lower energy stages. For high intensity, high power operation, significant developments are...
