The Laboratório do Acelerador Linear do Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo (LAL-IFUSP) finished the construction of a β = 1 continuous wave accelerating structure [1] for the IFUSP microtron [2], which presented excellent properties [3]. The structure is a 1.04-m long standing wave, side coupled (SCS) design, with 17 accelerating cavities and 16 coupling cavities. One of the main ...

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...

In this paper, we present an accelerator that is designed to improve performance of network processing applications, particularly layer seven networking applications. The accelerator can easily be integrated in Network Processors. We present the design details of two different FPGA implementations: a design where each task is implemented in the accelerator and another one where the accelerator ...

This paper introduces Accelerator Toolbox (AT) a collection of tools to model storage rings and beam transport lines in the MATLAB environment. The objective is to illustrate the flexibility and efficiency of the AT–MATLAB framework. The paper discusses three examples of problems that are analyzed frequently in connection with ring-based synchrotron light sources. 1 BACKGROUND AT is being devel...
