论文摘要
迄今为止，线性加速器（LINAC）作为用于产生工业目的电离辐射的电子源已限制为小于100 kW。当直接使用电子束时，这足以满足大多数潜在应用。但是，当将电子光束用于生产光子（X射线）时，这些光子将用于应用程序时，这不足以与其他光子源竞争（Cobalt-60的Gamma Rays）。本文将讨论一个紧凑的超导RF（CSRF）加速器系统，该系统依赖于新兴技术，该技术将能够在100 kW中产生电子束功率，其效率比现在的Linac高得多。重点是生产用于医疗装置灭菌的X射线梁，以提供目前用于此目前使用钴60的替代方法。
To date, linear accelerators (linacs) as electron sources used to produce ionizing radiation for industrial purposes have been limited to less than 100 kW. When the electron beam is used directly, this is sufficient for most potential applications. However, when the electron beam is used for the production of photons (x-rays) which are then to be used in an application, this is not sufficient to compete with other sources of photons (gamma rays from cobalt-60). This paper will discuss a compact superconducting RF (CSRF) accelerator system that relies on emerging technologies that will be able to produce electron beam powers into the 100s of kW with efficiencies much better than present linacs. The focus is to produce x-ray beams for medical device sterilization to provide alternatives for the present use of cobalt-60 for this purpose.
