Abstract :
The coupled field-circuit model of a linear accelerator is presented in this paper. It is a three-stage construction. The field model was developed with using the finite element method (FEM). The circuit model was obtained by using basic principles in a variational (Lagrangian) form. The mathematical model has been compared with the physical one.
