Мобильный ускоритель на базе безжелезного импульсного бетатрона для радиографирования динамических объектов
The paper concerns the mobile accelerator based on the ironless pulsed betaron. The accelerator is aimed to radiograph dynamic objects with a large optical thickness. It has a possibility to obtain up to three γ-pulses in one cycle of the acceleration. The accelerator operation description and results of its testing powering in a single-pulse mode are provided. The estimated boundary energy of an electron beam is equal to 60 MeV at the capacitance value of 1.8 mF of the storage of the betatron electromagnet pulsed power system. The thickness of the lead test object examined with γ-rays is 140 mm at 4 m from the tantalum target. The full width of the output γ-pulse at half maximum is equal to 120 ns. The dimension of the radiation source is 3×6 mm. The application of these accelerators within the radiographic complex will allow increasing the investigation efficiency due to the optimization of the hydrodynamic experiments geometry and the cost reduction.
