Abstract :
Racetrack geometries of the guide field are capable of freeing the microtron type of electron accelerator from its inherent limitations. Two completed racetrack microtrons of 2.5 and 6.3 MeV energy are described. A possible application of the design features of these accelerators to microtrons of up to 50 MeV is discussed. Preliminary results of a design study for a 200 MeV racetrack microtron are presented.
