WEIB01 Global Industrial Development of Accelerators for Charged Particle Therapy 1912

  This paper describes the current situation concerning industrial accelerators for medical hadron therapy facilities. Starting from high level requirements and considerations for a therapy facility more specific requirements for the accelerator will be deduced. The Varian ProBeam cyclotron is shown as an example of a medical accelerator and a statistical overview on other accelerators in us is given. The focus is strictly on industrially available equipment. As hadron facilities are extremely complex systems, in the confined space of this paper some simplifications are unavoidable.

WEIB02 RF Sub-Systems for Cargo and Vehicle Inspection 1917

  X-ray screening for security is a well-established inspection technique. Whilst in terms of fielded systems the vast majority consist of low energy X-ray sources, typically used for hand baggage or mail screening. There is a smaller but high value niche market servicing the requirements for border security, and cargo and vehicle inspection (CVI). This latter application requires higher X-ray energies of up to 10 MeV using an electron linear accelerator (linac) source to penetrate fully loaded shipping containers. Increasingly, methods are required to improve throughput and provide a higher level of material discrimination during inspection. This paper will briefly review the elements required to make an effective X-ray source, whilst outlining the RF technology required to drive a linac-based X-ray security system. Following this, potential new developments in radiofrequency (RF) sub-systems will be discussed in the context of user benefits.

WEIB05 Big Science Projects - What is it that makes some a success and others to fail? 4099
 
  • J.H. Yeck
    ESS, Lund, Sweden
 
  This presentation analyses the driving forces behind big science projects (which are very different compared to similarly complex but totally commercial projects). This presentation should be enlightening and a big help for anyone wanting to make business with big science projects.

  The Versatile Electron Linear Accelerator (VELA) facility will provide enabling infrastructures targeted at the development and testing of novel and compact accelerator technologies, specifically through partnership with industry and aimed at addressing applications in medicine, health, security, energy and industrial processing. The facility has now been commissioned at Daresbury Laboratory and the facility is now being actively utilised by industrial groups who are able to take advantage of the variable electron beam parameters available on VELA to either demonstrate new techniques and/or processes or otherwise develop new technologies for future commercial realisation. Examples of which to be presented include; demonstration of a new cargo scanning process, characterisation of novel, high performance beam position monitors, as well as other technology development applications.

  An STFC Innovation Partnership Scheme (IPS) grant, funding Daresbury Laboratory and Shakespeare Engineering Ltd to develop the capability to fabricate, process and test a 9-cell 1.3 GHz superconducting RF cavity in support of enabling UK industry to address the large potential market for superconducting RF structures. At the heart of the development are the repeatability and the reproducibility of the manufacturing process in an effort to reduce the costs. Effort has been spent on developing the techniques to fabricate the niobium half cells and the beam pipes and this paper discusses the manufacturing processes and the results obtained.
