Abstract

The equipment for accelerated electron beam shaping in irradiation technology process is very important part of irradiation facility. This equipment determines permissible transverse and longitudinal sizes of irradiated object and dose distribution in irradiation field. The fan beam scanning system is widely and successfully used for commercial irradiation. But the use of this system has some limitations. The belt beam scanning system allows to increase the electron beam use efficiency and to shape arbitrary (for example, uniform) dose distribution. This system is especially useful for the high irradiation depth. The crossing beam scanning system allows one to increase the dose penetration without electron beam energy increasing. This system is especially useful for the irradiation of object, if its depth is more or equal to its transverse size
