A unique effort is underway between industry and the international physics community to extend the Telecom industry’s Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA and MicroTCA) to meet future needs of the physics machine and detector community. New standard extensions for physics are being designed to deliver unprecedented performance and high subsystem availability for accelerator controls, instrumentation and data acquisition. A key feature is a unique out-of-band imbedded standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) system to manage hot-swap module replacement and hardware-software failover. An additional goal is to achieve a much higher degree of interoperability of both lab and industry designed hardware-software products than past generations of standards. This presentation will describe status of the hardware-software standards extension plans; technology advantages for machine controls and data acquisition systems; and examples of collaborative efforts to help develop an industry base of generic ATCA and MicroTCA products in an open-source environment.

Successful collaborative efforts involve committed partners that have established comforting level of trust. When industry and research laboratories establish such collaborations they create unique ecosystems that have potential to deliver creative solutions. Many times, however, those collaborations face unexpected legal and administrative limitations. The aim of this talk is to identify key limitations and suggest potential solutions that can streamline collaborative projects.

We developed an X-ray non-destructive (NDT) system for on-site bridge inspection. A portable X-band (9.3-12 GHz) 3.95MeV linear accelerator (linac) has been developed for this system. The system consists of X-ray of 62kg without the target collimeter of 80kg, the RF power source of 62kg and other utility box of 116kg. For the onsite investigation, a flexible waveguide is used for this linac. And the linac is a point X-ray source. For X-ray detection, we chose 8-inch square size scintillation type flat panel detector. The spatial resolution of the detector is as high as 0.2mm, which is manufactured by Perkin Elmer Co. Cd2O2S:Tb is used for the scintillator crystal. The capable radiation energy range is 40keV to 15MeV. In order to realize quick inspection for a bridge, remote control robot which handles and compact X-ray source and detector are desired. Therefore, we developed 3D location system for this robot. The locating system is realized with image processing with its camera. For the operation, stereoscopic radiographic image is taken and analyzed, and computed tomography (CT) image analysis is taken for detailed inspection.

Abstract―Our portable X-band (9.3GHz) 950KeV linac has been successfully upgraded. The problems of RF power oscillation, beam current oscillation and reduction and finally lack of X-ray intensity were solved by replacing the axial coupling cavities with the side-coupled ones. Designed X-ray dose rate of 0.05 Sv/min@1m is going to be achieved. Length of the accelerating tube is reduced to less than 25 cm. X-ray source part with the local radiation shielding is connected by the flexible waveguide with the box of the 300 kW　magnetron and cooling unit. The total system consists of the three suit-case-size units, the last of which is one for the electric power supply. Even on-line dynamic transmission imaging is available by using the high intensity X-ray camera. Demonstration of the measurement of wall thinning of metal pipes with thick thermal shielding is under way. Updated measurement results will be presented.
