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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Linear accelerators, commonly referred to as linacs, are devices designed to accelerate charged particles along a straight path using radio frequency electromagnetic fields.

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 …
