The dielectric wall accelerator (DWA) offers a low-cost solution for proton therapy with non-resonant waveguides. Radial waveguides (RWGs) transport electronically-switched nanosecond pulses and produce an accelerating electric field in the beam pipe. Previou...

Non-Invasive Reversible Software-Based Configuration of a Clinically Used Linear Accelerator for Preclinical Electron Flash Radiobiology
Configuring clinical linear accelerators (LINACs) for ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) electron experiments typically requires invasive hardware modification or manufacturer intervention, limiting accessibility. We developed an independent, non-invasive, software-...

Optimizing the Wall Thickness of a Rexolite Beam Pipe Towards a Proof of Concept Dielectric Wall Accelerator
To investigate the optimal wall thickness for a Rexolite beam pipe for a proof-of-concept dielectric wall accelerator (DWA). In a DWA, protons are accelerated by a virtual traveling wave, created by switching electric fields along a dielectric beam pipe. The...
