National Synchrotron Light Source Seminar

"Low Energy Linacs Developed for Homeland Security"

Presented by Prof. Chuanxiang Tang, Tsinghua University, Accelerator Laboratory & Department of Engineering Physics, Beijing, China

Friday, June 22, 2007, 10:30 am — Seminar Room, Bldg. 725

Non-invasive cargo inspection plays critical role in homeland security; high flux X-ray generated by the electron beam is suitable for the cargo inspection. The cargo inspection system development in China will be discussed in this talk. At the very beginning of the large container inspection system development, we have developed a traveling wave linac of 9 MeV as the x-ray source. After that, several kinds of standing wave linacs from 2.5MeV to 9MeV were developed for the mobile, relocatable and fixed cargo inspection systems. Besides, the special linacs for fast scanning systems and dual energy systems will be introduced in detail here.
