DEVELOPMENT OF THE DUAL-SLOT RESONANCE LINAC*

We present the development of a novel electron accelerating structure with strong cell-to-cell coupling. The coupling is provided by a pair of resonant slots, separated by a non-resonant void region, located within the wall between adjacent cells. The 10+2/2 cell standingwave structure, operating in a phase and amplitude stabilized π/2 mode, will provide an energy gain of 10 MeV.
