An RF accelerating cavity includes an accelerating cavity unit and an
inductance varying device having a magnetic member connected parallel to
an acceleration electrode gap. The RF accelerating cavity is tuned in
such a fashion that a charged particle beam acceleration frequency
matches a resonant frequency of the RF accelerating cavity by regulating
inductance of the inductance varying device in accordance with a changing
pattern of the charged particle beam acceleration frequency.
Alternatively, impedance of the RF accelerating cavity is increased with
the provision of a fixed inductance connected parallel to the
acceleration electrode gap when the RF accelerating cavity has a narrow
acceleration frequency range.
