Facility for Rare Isotope Beams

Across the world, accelerators are becoming more a part of the everyday life so there’s a significant effort to shrink the overall footprint of these accelerator system from national laboratory scale machines to a footprint that is reasonable for industrial and medical applications. At Lumitron Technologies we have developed an ultracompact high gradient accelerator. Operating at X-band 11.424 GHz with a distributed charge architecture, this system can produce a high-flux, tunable, mono-energetic x-rays that are ideally suited for range of novel, medical and industrial imaging applications. The underlying electron beam used is also a suitable source of very high energy electrons (VHEE) for FLASH radiotherapy.
