The radiation source repre-
sents itself a linear electron
accelerator УЭЛР-6-1-Д-4-01
(ТУ 6912-001-69564325-2011)
manufactured by «Scantronic
Systems».
The accelerator is intended for
use as a source of bremsstrahl-
ung with boundary energy
corresponding to the energy of
accelerated electron beam that
used for generating of shadow
x-ray image of a scanned
object.
The accelerator is one of the
basic and essential parts of
inspection system; its param-
eters define basic physical and
technical performances of
inspection system.
- Cooling system providing
constant temperature of
cooling liquid;
- Control console;
- Cables (including high
voltage) and hoses.
The accelerator is operated in
three main modes:
- Low energy mode (all pulses
with low energy)
- High energy mode (all pulses
with high energy)
- Dual energy mode (all even
pulses with high energy and
all odd pulses with low energy)
The linear electron accelerator
with pulse-to-pulse energy
modulation consists of:
- X-ray head, including: elec-
tron gun, accelerating struc-
ture, waveguide with system
of insulating gas feeding, low
power radiofrequency system,
vacuum system, target, local
radiation shielding, ion cham-
ber, elements of cooling
system, control electronics
(controllers and controlling
computer), interfaces for
connection with other
systems, hermetic case;
- Modulator, combined with
X-ray head in one-piece unit;
