Q: What is the pulsed structure of a linac beam?
A: |
Most linac-based neutron sources employed a pulsed charged particle beam, whether
it be for electrons or ions. In the LANSAR® systems, the typical "time structure"
of the output beam from the linac is shown in figure 1. The "macro-structure" of the
output beam is determined by the pulsing of the rf power input to the linac and the
injected charged particles. Typical values of the output beam pulse width......

Q: What are the current capabilities of a linac?
A: |
There are several features of linacs that are not completely obvious to many
users of neutrons that should be clarified. One of these characteristics is the
output beam requirements for a given linac design. While an electron linac can not
be used for any ion species, an electron linac can be designed to produce electrons
over a limited range of energies. On the other hand, an ion linac is usually......
