  1. 95. Multi-cell X-ray target with energy recuperation
    Ms Aurora Cecilia Araujo Martinez (RadiaBeam Technologies, LLC)
    3/18/24, 1:20 PM
    Industrial Application of Accelerators
    Invited Talk

    X-ray irradiation offers several advantages compared to other irradiation technologies including superior penetrating quality compared to electron beams. These advantages make X-ray targets key components in a broad range of industrial applications including food irradiation, sterilization of medical devices, and non-destructive testing, among others. However, the low electron to X-ray...

  2. 148. An Accelerator-driven Green Power Plant
    Rolland Johnson (Muons, Inc.)
    3/18/24, 1:45 PM
    Industrial Application of Accelerators
    Invited Talk

    The long, prohibitively expensive procedures for licensing a nuclear fission-based power plant can be replaced by 1) using accelerator-driven subcritical modular reactors that never contain a critical mass and 2) continuously removing volatile fission products from the molten salt reactors so that any accidental releases are insignificant. Mu*STAR Nuclear Power plants, composed of upgradable...

  3. 233. Estimating the Socio-Economic Benefits of Accelerator-Based Techniques
    Dr Amanda Walsh (RTI International)
    3/18/24, 2:10 PM
    Industrial Application of Accelerators
    Oral Presentation

    Accelerator applications generate substantial socio-economic impact across a broad range of topics and challenges of global importance. However, while accelerator investments require direct monetary contributions from a discrete number of investors, resulting socio-economic benefits are often broadly distributed and not naturally monetized. Hence, the return on investment in accelerators is...

  4. 131. Stronger and durable pavement infrastructure using accelerator technology
    Jayakar Thangaraj (Fermilab)
    3/18/24, 2:30 PM
    Industrial Application of Accelerators
    Oral Presentation

    This talk introduces a new class of simple, turn-key superconducting radio frequency (SRF) accelerators for broad use in industrial applications. Leveraging recent R&D breakthroughs in high-temperature SRF cavities, cost-effective radio-frequency sources, modern cryo-coolers, and high average current electron guns, Fermilab is building an accelerator based on the Nb3Sn coated 1.3 GHz TESLA...

  5. 193. Evaluating eBeam as a means of sterilizing screwworms for sterile insect technique
    Ashleigh Haughey (Texas A&M University)
    3/18/24, 2:45 PM
    Industrial Application of Accelerators
    Oral Presentation

    The screwworm eradication program is the first example of using ionizing radiation to sterilize insects for pest control. This USDA program resulted in the elimination of the primary screwworm from North America. The program was executed using Cs 137 or Co 60 to sterilize flies. However, there is considerable interest in moving toward eBeam or Xray based methods for sterilizing flies, due to...
