Linac (Noun)
Meaning
Ions are accelerated along a linear path by voltage differences on electrodes along the path.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The accelerator facility features a powerful linac that propels ions to nearly the speed of light.
- A research team designed and built a compact linac to study the properties of ion beams.
- To inject ions into the circular accelerator, a linac is used to first accelerate them to high speed.
- Each stage of the linac is carefully tuned to optimize the acceleration of the ions to their final energy.
- In the linac, the voltage difference between electrodes is precisely controlled to ensure stable ion acceleration.
