  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

  Muons are elementary particles with strong penetrating power and cosmic-ray muons have been utilized to see through large structures such as the pyramids. Recently, we have succeeded in accelerating muons using a radio-frequency accelerator, opening the door to new imaging techniques using accelerated muon beams. Currently, imaging with cosmic-ray muons is limited in imaging time and resolution by their intensity and energy fluctuations. The muon beams can have high intensity and monochromatic energy, allowing for better resolution imaging in less time. In this poster, imaging of spent nuclear fuel in casks using cosmic rays and muon beams, as well as imaging in other cases, will be evaluated and compared.
