A simple RF accelerator would work with a
capacitor (with an opening for the beam)
and a coil in parallel to the capacitor. The
energy oscillates between electric and
magnetic field.

For a frequency of 100 MHz, a typical value for an accelerator, the inductance of
the coil and the capacity of the condenser must be chosen very small. Example:

The fields in the cavity oscillate in TM010
mode (no longitudinal magnetic field).
There are an infinite number of oscilllation
modes, but only a few are used for cavities
(calculation from Maxwells equations,
application for waveguides, for example
K.Wille)
