WEPF26 | The Brookhaven LINAC Isotope Production Facility (BLIP) Raster Scanning Upgrade | controls, target, laser, radiation | 608 |
|
|||
Brookhaven National Laboratory’s BLIP facility produces radioisotopes for the nuclear medicine community and industry, and performs research to develop new radioisotopes desired by nuclear medicine investigators. A raster scanning system is being installed to provide a better distribution of the H− beam on the targets, allow higher beam intensities to be used, and ultimately increase production yield of the isotopes. The upgrade consists of horizontal and vertical dipole magnets sinusoidally driven at 5 kHz with 90 deg phase separation to produce a circular raster pattern, and a suite of new instrumentation devices to measure beam characteristics and allow adequate machine protection. The instrumentation systems include multi-wire profile monitors, a laser profile monitor, beam current transformers, and a beam position monitor. An overview of the upgrade and project status will be presented.
