Best Answer

A linear accelerator consists of a long vacuum chamber containing large number of hollow coaxial cylindrical electrodes, which increase in length towards the target.The alternate cylinders are connected together, the odd numbered cylinders being joined to one terminal and the even numbered ones to the second terminal of a high frequency power supply.

Why can't a linear accelerator speed up neutrons?

Neutrons have a neutral charge. It is a particle's charge that permits it to be boosted in a linear accelerator. Thus protons and electrons can be boosted, but neutrons alone cannot.
