The IBA rhodotron TT1000: a very high power E-beam accelerator

Due to the relatively low conversion efficiency of electrons into X-rays, the use of X-rays on an industrial basis requires high-power high-energy electron accelerators. Based on its experience acquired in the development of the Rhodotron (Nucl. Instrum. Methods B 40/41 (1989) 943; Nucl. Instrum. Methods B 79 (1993) 865), IBA has launched a few years ago a vigorous R&D program to develop such high-power electron accelerator devoted to X-ray industrial applications. This research program resulted in the TT1000 Rhodotron aimed at delivering 5 and 7 MeV electron beams with a current intensity of 100 mA. This project is now reaching its final phase with the qualification tests of the first prototype of this new machine. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
