Investigation of Propagation Characteristics of Twisted Hollow Waveguides for Particle Accelerator Applications

A new class of accelerating structures employing a uniformly twisted waveguide is investigated. Twisted waveguides of various cross-sectional geometries are considered and analyzed. It is shown that such a twisted waveguide can support waves that travel at a speed slower than the speed of light c. T...
