Compact, High-Power Superconducting Electron Linear Accelerators for Environmental and Industrial Applications: Projects and Status | |
|
||
| We have developed and demonstrated a novel superconducting accelerator technology ¿ conduction cooling - that eliminates the need for liquid Helium, thus dramatically simplifying the infrastructure needed to access SRF technology for industrial applications. Our machine combines R&D breakthroughs in high-temperature SRF cavities (Nb₃Sn), cost-effective radio-frequency sources, modern technology cryo-coolers, and high-average current electron guns. We will describe currently active conduction-cooled accelerator projects at 650 MHz and 1.3 GHz. We will also present the experimental results on the conduction cooling of SRF cavities and briefly discuss results from other labs. Our compact linac is designed to generate electron beam energies up to 10 MeV in continuous-wave operation. Our detailed thermal, RF, and beam transport simulations show that a single accelerator module can deliver average beam power as high as 250 kW. We can reach up to 1 MW by combining several modules. Compact and light enough to mount on mobile platforms, our machine will enable applications such as treating contaminants in water, innovative pavement construction, and X-ray medical device sterilization. | ||
