First Results of the Airix Induction Accelerator

چکیده
The AIRIX flash X-RAY radiographic facility is now being characterized at Moronvilliers near REIMS. The 1.92 – 3.5 kA, 60 ns electron beam has been accelerated and transported through the 64 induction cells from 4 to 20 MeV (250 kV/cell). We present the acceptance tests of the machine, conducted with the 3.0 kA electron beam. We review in this paper, the characteristics and the performances of the induction cells and the 32 High Voltage generators. We relate, also, the experiment that was done to minimize the X-ray focal spot, and to maximize the dose. The first objectives, to have a diameter of the focal spot smaller than 2 mm, has been reached.

Installation of the Airix Induction Accelerator
The AIRIX flash X-Ray Radiographic facility will consist of a 3.5kA/4.0MeV/60ns injector and 64 induction cells powered by 32 H.V. generators (250 kV per cell). The induction cells studies made on the PIVAIR accelerator [1], which is the prototype of AIRIX, have allowed to design specific vacuum technology cells (ferrite are under vacuum). In this paper, we will present the technical features o...
متن کاملAlignment Techniques for the High Current Airix Accelerator
AIRIX is a linear induction accelerator which will produce by the end of 1999, a 20 MeV, 3.5 kA, 60 ns electron beam for X-Ray Radiographic applications. The high performance required for the French Radiographic Hydrotest Facility is connected to the beam quality and thus to the accelerator alignment.To minimize corkscrew motion and emittance increase of the beam, mechanical and magnetic alignm...
متن کاملRBF neural net based classifier for the AIRIX accelerator fault diagnosis
The AIRIX facility is a high current linear accelerator (2-3.5kA) used for flash-radiography at the CEA of Moronvilliers France. The general background of this study is the diagnosis and the predictive maintenance of AIRIX. We will present a tool for fault diagnosis and monitoring based on pattern recognition using artificial neural network. Parameters extracted from the signals recorded on eac...
متن کاملTransport optimization and characterization of the 2kA AIRIX electron beam
The AIRIX induction accelerator is now operational. After completing the acceptance test of the entire machine, we have aligned the sixteen blocks of four cells, each using the very accurate HLS (Hydrostatic Leveling System) and WPS (Wire Positionning System) method. The beam transport optimization was made with a 1.92kA,60ns electron beam, accelerated from 3.8 to 19.2MeV. This procedure consis...
متن کاملNew Implement in Tracewin/partran Codes: Integration in External Field Map
The calculation of particle trajectories in external dynamic and/or static electromagnetic fields has been implemented in TraceWIN and PARTRAN codes [1]. The four field maps can be superposed. In TraceWIN (envelope code), the field is linearised around the synchronous trajectory. In PARTRAN, a RK4 integration in a measured or calculated field map is made. Results are produced for various projec...
