The standing wave, bi-periodic, on axis coupled accelerating structure operating in π/2 mode has been designed and constructed. It will be used for a new medical electron linear accelerator with the following parameters: electron energies 6, 9, 12, 15, MeV at dose rate up to 4 Gy/min/m; electron energies for X photon generation 6 and 15 MeV at X-ray dose rate up to 3Gy/min/m.
In the INCT a Pilot Plant for Food Irradiation started the operation November 1992. The plant is equipped with linear electron accelerator. To improve the operation it was decided to equip the accelerator with computerized system of the control and data acquisition. It is based on IBM PC/AT computer and the BITBUS interconnection system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
