Thermal calculation of accelerating structures in electron linacs

The temperature distribution in the accelerating structures of standing-wave and traveling-wave electron linacs is calculated. The objects of consideration in the former and latter cases are, respectively, a circular iris waveguide with magnetic coupling and a biperiodic accelerating structure. Calculation data for steady and transient heating conditions are presented. The variation of the cell’s geometry and resonance frequency with the temperature of the structure is also calculated. Calculations are made for copper structures with allowance for microwave wall losses.
