Abstract

The Eindhoven racetrack microtron (RTM) is injected from a 10 MeV linear accelerator on a first turn, to produce a 75 MeV electron beam after further acceleration. The matching of the linac emittance to the RTM acceptance is achieved in an iterative optimization procedure, which makes use of measurements of the beam shape in both transverse phase planes. The beam transport line from linac to RTM contains a double achromatic bending section and six quadrupoles for emittance matching. The beam shape is measured near the location of the accelerating cavity in the RTM. The designed feedback procedure is described, and results of test calculations are given.
