    Abstract: In a particle accelerator of the type employing AC primary power and a voltage multiplication apparatus to achieve the required high DC accelerating voltage, a filament supply circuit is powered by a portion of the AC primary power appearing at the last stage of the voltage multiplier. This AC power is applied across a voltage regulator circuit in the form of two zener diodes connected back to back. The threshold of the zeners is below the lowest peak-to-peak voltage of the AC voltage so that the regulated voltage remains constant for all settings of the adjustable acceleration voltage. The regulated voltage is coupled through an adjustable resistor and an impedance-matching transformer to the accelerator filament.

    Abstract: A system for regulating the electron beam emission of an accelerator has a filament whose temperature is controlled by pulse width modulation of the current flowing to the filament (8). A variable impedance transformer (4) serially connected between the filament and RF power source (4) is electronically switched between high and low impedance at a rate faster than the thermal time constant of the filament whereby the variations of current flowing in the filament are averaged by the thermal response time of the filament so that the temperature and electron emission level of the filament remain substantially constant. The impedance switching signal is generated in response to changes in current flowing in the high voltage coils of the accelerator. The pulse width can be modulated over a wide range to vary the electron current over a range greater than 2:1. The switching signal is transmitted across the high voltage gradient of the accelerator by an optical link including an LED coupled to a phototransistor (15) by a light pipe (16).
