  1. 242. New Applications of Compact Accelerators in Security and Nonproliferation
    Igor Jovanovic (University of Michigan)
    3/19/24, 1:20 PM
    Compact Accelerators
    Invited Talk

    Radiation sources based on compact accelerators hold significant promise for detecting illicit transport of nuclear materials and contraband, and for advancing global nonproliferation objectives, including nuclear safeguards and treaty verification. This talk will discuss several recent developments that exemplify how the characteristics of compact accelerator-driven radiation sources,...

  2. 92. Recent advancements in compact accelerator and gamma source technologies
    Marcos Ruelas (RadiaBeam)
    3/19/24, 1:45 PM
    Compact Accelerators
    Invited Talk

    Recent advancements in accelerator design, manufacturing technology, and supporting subsystems have ushered in a renaissance in compact accelerator-based electron, X-ray, and gamma sources. These sources have reduced size, weight, and power requirements with negligible or otherwise acceptable reduction in output performance. The use of frequencies above 9 GHz, and even >100 GHz, have allowed...

  3. 73. Compact Industrial Traveling Wave X-band Linac with Pulse-to-Pulse Tunable Output Energy
    Valery Dolgashev (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)
    3/19/24, 2:10 PM
    Compact Accelerators
    Invited Talk

    We will present the design of a compact, highly efficient 9.3 GHz linac with pulse-to-pulse tunable output energy. This linac will produce of up to 500 W of 10 MeV electron beam power for medical and security applications. The novel feature of this linac is its patented traveling wave accelerating structure. This structure combines the benefits of high efficiency with the ability to vary the...

  4. 140. Low Energy Linac for Electronic Brachytherapy
    Chunguang Jing (Euclid Techlabs LLC)
    3/19/24, 2:30 PM
    Compact Accelerators
    Oral Presentation

    The use of electronic brachytherapy (EB) has grown rapidly over the past decade. It is gaining significant interest from the global medical community as an improved user-friendly technology to reduce the usage of Ir-192. However, the present EB machines all use electron beams at energies of 100 kV or less to generate the X-ray photons, which limits their use to low dose-rate brachytherapy. We...

  5. 106. Madison Accelerator Laboratory: A Unique Nuclear Research User Facility at James Madison University
    Dr Tilda Pendleton (James Madison University)
    3/19/24, 2:45 PM
    Compact Accelerators
    Oral Presentation

    Madison Accelerator Laboratory (MAL) is a unique electron/bremsstrahlung facility on the campus of James Madison University. The facility features a medical electron linear accelerator (linac), an X-ray imaging system, and a suite of particle detection instrumentation. The Siemens Mevatron linac produces electron beams with energies from 6-15 MeV and bremsstrahlung photon beams with endpoint...
