Control System of a Miniature 12 MeV Race-Track Microtron
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple control system has been developed for the commissioning of a compact 12 MeV race-track microtron which is under construction at the Technical University of Catalonia. It is of modular structure and is based on LabView programs at a conventional PC and ATmega microcontrollers. Apart from modules to monitor different RTM systems it also includes an Automatic Frequency Control of the magnetron frequency and interlocks. The architecture and main features of the modules are described and results of their operation are reported. Further developments of the control system and interfaces are on the way.

CURRENT STATUS OF THE 12 MeV UPC RACE-TRACK MICROTRON
We report on the current status of the technical design and results of tests of some components of a compact racetrack microtron (RTM) which is under construction at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). The RTM end magnets are four-pole systems with the magnetic field created by a rare-earth permanent magnet material. As a source of electrons a 3D off-axis electron gun is used. These...

In order to obtain high gain m a free electron laser a high-quality electron beam with high peak current is required . It is well-known that a microtron is able to produce a high-quality beam having low etntttance and small energy spread (1%0). Because a circular nucrotron has a linuted high-current capability a race-track design is adopted for providing flexibility, better beam quality and of ...

The Laboratório do Acelerador Linear (LAL) of the Physics Institute of the University of São Paulo (IFUSP) is building a 31 MeV continuous wave (cw) racetrack microtron [1][2]. This two-stage microtron comprises a 1.8 MeV injector linac, a five-turn microtron booster that increases the energy to 4.9 MeV, and the main microtron, which delivers a 31 MeV cw electron beam after 28 turns. The inject...
متن کاملSimulations of Racetrack Microtron for Acceleration of Picosecond Electron Pulse
Low emittance sub-picosecond electron pulses are expected to be used in a wide field, such as free electron laser, laser acceleration, femtosecond X-ray generation by inverse Compton scattering, and pulse radiolysis, etc. In order to produce the low emittance sub-picosecond electron pulses, we are developing a compact racetrack microtron (RTM) with a new 5 MeV injection system adopting an laser...

Progress is reported on a 25 MeV injector racetrack microtron for a 10 wm radiation free electron laser (TEUFEL project). The accelerator exhibits transverse focusing in 180° inhomogeneous two-sector dipole magnets which are slightly rotated with respect to each other in the bending plane . This provides closed orbits, isochronism and a large transverse acceptance. Details on this unconventiona...
