CBRNE Standoff Detection |

The speaker will address the ability to detect Chemical-Biological-Radiological-Nuclear-Explosive (CBRNE) material at large distances, which is becoming increasingly important for domestic and international security and has become a priority for the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense. Because of the inherent difficulty of passive detection of most CBRNE, accelerator systems have been proposed and developed for these applications. This talk will focus on cyclotron and linac-based systems presently under development. CBRNE detection requires that sources and detectors be specifically designed to work in tandem. In most cases, long standoff inspection systems require detectors to operate in environments for which they are not meant to function. Successful implementation of long-standoff CBRNE detection systems requires adequate matching of both sources and detectors with respect to inspection parameters.

Because of the broad application space for compact, 1-2 GeV accelerators, Inverse Free Electron Lasers (IFELs) are enjoying a rebirth of R&D funding. The efforts are under way in industry (RadiaBeam), academia (UCLA), and national laboratories (LLNL and BNL) to develop an ultra-compact IFEL energy booster for the photoinjector driven linear accelerating systems. The RUBICON collaboration integrates many of the institutions for proof-of-principle IFEL driven Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) compact light source demonstrations. IFELs perform optimally in this mid-energy range, and given continual advances in laser technology, high average power IFELs with gradients well over 500 MeV/m are now feasible, leading to high quality, compact ICS and Free Electron Laser light sources. Importantly, IFEL operation can have excellent shot-to-shot energy stability, which is crucial when not only driving these light sources, but also for the downstream applications such as photofission, nuclear resonance fluorescence and standoff detection.

Accelerator Driven Subcritical (ADS) fission is an interesting candidate basis for nuclear waste transmutation and for nuclear power generation. ADS can use either thorium or depleted uranium as fuel, operate below criticality, and consume rather than produce long-lived actinides. A case study with a hypothetical, but realistic nuclear core configuration is used to evaluate the performance requirements of the driver proton accelerator in terms of beam energy, beam current, duty factor, beam distribution delivered to the fission core, reliability, and capital and operating cost. Comparison between a CW IC and that of an SRF proton linac is evaluated. Future accelerator R&D required to improve each candidate accelerator design is discussed.

State of the Art in Medical and Industrial Linear-Accelerator Systems |
|
| |
- D.W. Whittum
Varian Medical Systems, Oncology Systems, Palo Alto, USA
|
|
| |
The speaker will address the state of the art in medical and industrial microwave accelerators. The main focus will be the history and technology of medical linacs for radiotherapy. Electron and hadron accelerator configurations should be described and operational aspects of gantry-style linac systems should be illustrated with reference to the state of the art. Aspects of structure design, modeling, testing and reliability should be discussed.

Maximizing Technology Transfer Benefits to Society |

| |
- A. Peters
HIT, Heidelberg, Germany
|

| |
What is ‘technology transfer’? Is it just the movement of knowledge or is it a more interactive process? The speaker will present definitions of technology transfer and discuss the linked challenges. Furthermore some technology trans¬fer examples from industry will be given to derive step by step feasible strategies for successful collaboration. Problems like ‘different cultures’ in science institutes and industry will also be discussed as well as other key factors, e.g. the ability and willingness of scientists to move from public institutes to industry.
