- Abstract
- The Rhodotron is a new type of industrial electron accelerator developed by IBA, Belgium, on the basis of the pioneering work performed by a French team at CEA, Saclay. The operating principle of this new technology makes it possible to easily produce high energy and high power electron beams. The combination of high energy and high current allows high product throughputs and/or the irradiation of thick structures in the electron mode. An X-ray target is also developed in such a way that the Rhodotron can also be operated in the X-ray mode while maintaining high dose rates. The construction of the first industrial unit (10 MeV, 100 kW) began in January 1992 and the first beam was obtained on October 29, 1993. This machine has now been tested at its full specifications. Technical performance data are presented in this paper.
