Abstract :
We have designed a family of new continuous wave linear accelerators for electron-based industrial, medical, and environmental irradiation applications. Our ten reliable, small, inexpensive high-power modular accelerators will produce beams with energies from 0.6 to 6.0 MeV in increments of 600 keV, each with a current selectable from O to 50 mA. We have constructed the critical gun-1st section model, which has undergone the first beam test. We have achieved beam parameters of 600 keV, 10 mA, and 6 kW and we have demonstrated all the innovations of our initial design
