PHERMEX Standing-Wave Linear Electron Accelerator

Abstract: The PIIERMEX standing-wave rt electron llnac 1s a high-current pulsed electron beam qenerator that is used for flash x-radiography. This accelerator is being upqrd[le,lto 1OOI3-A ptak current and 50-"eV peak enerqy over a 150-ns pulse or over three 40-ns pulses. This upqrade is d result of increastnq the r" power in the cavities and installing a new (Phys{cs interndtlonal) injector pul ser.

“…However, such an accelerator would be much too large, would have a low acceleration gradient and would be very expensive. A 50 MHz accelerator, PHERMEX has been built at LANL [13,14], but it does not appear suitable for the present applications.…”

“…Flash radiography plays an important role in hydrodynamic experiments, as it enables recording of inner images for a certain instant of explosive processes [1,2]. In order to penetrate dense materials, a high-energy intense-current electron beam is focused onto a high-Z target to produce X-ray pulses from bremsstrahlung radiation [3,4].…”

“…It will soon be possible for an electron beam to deposit > 109 rad in < 25 nsec to heat silica by -104 K [8]. Such a dose would probably melt-vaporize, shock, or shatter most materials.…”
