Technical note: thyratron performance--dependence on mounting in a medical linear accelerator.
A thyratron is an important component of a medical linear accelerator. The working life of a thyratron has been found to be dependent on its physical orientation in the accelerator. This observation is a result of maintaining accelerators for over 15 years.
