MOPAB348 | Portable 2.5 MeV X-Band Linear Accelerator Structure | 1084 |
|
||
Two versions of 2.5 MeV X-Band linear accelerator structure have been designed and tested. The first is a traditional single input linac, and the other one is a dual input, two section linac with power input through a 3 dB coupler. The linac is designed for a portable linac system, which can be used for security screening, non-destructive testing, medical and industrial CT, and, perhaps, some other applications. | ||

MOPAB349 | New Accelerator Beam Centerline (ABC) Production Line at Varex Imaging Corporation | 1087 |
|
||
In January 2017, a Salt Lake City Component Division of Varian Medical (Varian)*, producer of X-ray tubes, detectors, and imaging panels has been spun off, giving birth to a new public company Varex Imaging Corporation (Varex)**, which also includes the Security and Inspection Products (SIP) linac producer in Las Vegas. Based on Varian asset acquisition of two small LLCs*** in May 2016, 8 months prior to the transition, a new business branch within Varex has been established, which included distribution of the betatrons and detector arrays as well as pilot production line for Accelerator Beam Centerlines (ABC). In 3 years, we moved ABC production from Fremont, CA to Salt Lake in Utah and improved it; several ABCs have been designed, produced, and qualified. A number of new products in energy range of 1-20 MeV are under development, based on the new ABCs used as components for SIP linear accelerator systems and ABCs sold to third parties for applications other than Security and NDT. The new products will brag broad energy and dose rate regulation, smooth and reliable operation, providing extended benefits to our customers.

TUPAB412 | New 3 MeV and 7 MeV Accelerators for Cargo Screening and NDT | 2491 |
|
||
For decades evaluating of cargo and non-destructive testing of objects have been utilizing high energy systems based on particle accelerators. End users wish for lower prices, better image quality, and convenience of utilization. In recent years Varex Imaging, world leader in innovation, development, and manufacture of X-ray imaging component solutions, has been developing a series of new accelerator products with improved parameters and a goal of replacing existing dated systems and growing of emerging markets. New S-band energy regulated 3 MeV and 7 MeV linear accelerators have been designed, tested at Varex Imaging and their customer sites. Novel linacs benefit is in dramatically increased output, reduced beam spot, longer operation, and improved versatility. Authors will outline recent progress and future endeavors in linear accelerator development with regards to improvement of accelerating structures, X-ray targets, and corresponding RF components*.
This work would have not been successful without outstanding contribution of the whole Linac Group of Varex Imaging and established partnerships with our customers |
