We describe the design and technical characteristics of a C-band SW accelerating structure of a 12 MeV race-track microtron, which is under construction at the Technical University of Catalonia, and its RF system with a 5712 MHz magnetron as a source. Results of cold tests of the accelerating structure, before and after the brazing, and of high-power tests of the RF system at a special stand are reported. The main features of the magnetron frequency stabilization subsystem are also outlined. | |||

Funding: This work is supported by Strategic Funds for Promotion of Science and Technology (Grant No. 066). A mono-energetic gamma-ray source based on laser Compton scattering is under development for non-destructive detection of nuclear material in cargo. In the detection system, we employ nuclear resonance fluorescence triggered by mono-energetic gamma-rays tuned at the resonance energy of nuclear material such as U-235. As a prototype, a 150-MeV microtron combined with a YAG laser to produce a 400-keV gamma ray is constructed at JAEA, where critical technologies are to be demonstrated for high-flux gamma-ray generation, 3x105 ph/s. We also start to design a microtron at higher energy, 250 MeV, to produce a 2-MeV gamma-ray, which is required for the detection of U-235. |
