A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to linac) is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged subatomic particles or ions to a high speed by subjecting them to a series …

A medical linear accelerator (LINAC) is the device most commonly used for external beam radiation treatments for patients with cancer. It delivers high-energy x-rays or electrons to the …

Linear accelerator, type of particle accelerator (q.v.) that imparts a series of relatively small increases in energy to subatomic particles as they pass through a sequence of alternating …

The medical linear accelerator (linac) is the primary workhorse for radiation oncology. While the underlying principle of a linac is remarkably simple, implementation of that principle to produce …

A linear accelerator, commonly known as a LINAC, is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged particles such as electrons, protons, or ions to very high speeds along a …

A linear accelerator machine is designed to be a general purpose radiation delivery machine and in general requires modifications to enable it to be used for radiosurgery or IMRT (intensity …

Linear accelerators for electrons are quite different from ion accelerators. They are high-gradient, traveling wave structures used primarily for particle physics research.

LINAC (linear accelerator) is a system that allows to accelerate charged particles through a linear trajectory by electromagnetic fields. The first historical linear particle accelerator was built by …

The linear particle accelerator is an extension of Wideroe's idea to a long linear array of accelerating "cells" powered by a radio frequency source in the megawatt power range and in …

May 28, 2020 · Linear accelerators (linacs) use alternating radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields to accelerate charged particles in a straight line. Linacs were invented about 95 years …
