TURN-KEY LINAC SYSTEMS
Comeb specializes on the manufacture of compact linear accelerators for medical, industrial and research applications. In order to achieve such compactness, X-Band technology is used.
Recently, the company has delivered a 1 MeV linac to be used for aviation cargo inspection.
The cavity is only 15 cm long and was designed as an X-band pi/2 bi-periodic structure.
The linac was tested at STFC (Science and Technology Facilities Council). Measurements of the radiation dose and electron beam energy spectrum are reported below.
Comeb has delivered a 1 MeV linac cavity prototype to be used for aviation cargo inspection.
The cavity consists in 8 brazed copper cells and a waveguide in a central position. It was designed as an X-band p/2 bi-periodic structure. This tecnology allows small linac dimensions easily integrated with the requirements of the commercial system for scanning.
The particular design of the structure minimizes the effects of perturbations and results in a much lower accelerating gradient. The cavity operates with a 30 MV/m accelerating gradient.
RF parameters are:
-Frequency 9298 MHz
-Nominal Bandwidth 1 MHz
-Total peak output power 1,5 MW
-Pulse Repetition Rate Range 100 Hz
-RF Pulse Width 5 µs
