Here we present results of calculations of emittance growth caused by quantum fluctuations of synchrotron radiation (QFSR) for a 1.5GeV Double-Sided Microtron (DSM) [1]. We did both semi-analytical estimations, employing known twiss parameters for the DSM orbits, and a computer simulation of these stochastical effects using the program SYTRACE [2]. This showed that the normalized emittance grow...

The conceptual design of the pulsed VUV synchrotron radiation (SR) source is reported. This machine has modi®ed racetrack shape (diamond shape) and consist of two superconducting bending magnets, two normal conducting bending magnets, iron yokes, quadrupole magnets and injection system. Maximum magnetic ̄ux density is 7 T. Injector is 100 MeV racetrack microtron and 100 MeV, 10 pps electron bea...

A comprehensive set of measurements and calculations has been conducted to investigate the accuracy of the Dose Planning Method (DPM) Monte Carlo code for dose calculations from 10 and 50 MeV scanned electron beams produced from a racetrack microtron. Central axis depth dose measurements and a series of profile scans at various depths were acquired in a water phantom using a Scanditronix type R...

Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT) has two synchrotron radiation sources, Indus-1 and Indus-2. Microtron is the common injector to both the machines. A new, FPGA based, control system architecture is planned in which it supervises and monitors different subsystems present for the operation of Microtron with the help of Equipment Control Modules (ECMs). At present some subsystem...
