Abstract
A miniature 12 MeV race-track microtron for medical applications is under construction at the Technical University of Catalonia in collaboration with several Spanish centers and companies and the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Moscow State University. As a source of electrons a compact 3D on-axis electron gun with an off-axis cathode has been designed to allow a direct and efficient injection into the accelerating structure. Its prototype has been built and successfully tested. Results of the electron gun design simulations and of the prototype performance are herein described.
