Abstract :
The standing wave, bi-periodic, on axis coupled accelerating structure operating in π/2 mode has been designed and constructed. It will be used for a new medical electron linear accelerator with the following parameters: electron energies 6, 9, 12, 15 MeV at dose rate up to 4 Gy/min/m; electron energies for X-ray/photon generation 6 and 15 MeV at X-ray dose rate up to 3 Gy/min/m
