About the Electron Charge Accelerated in the Small-size Betatron MIB-4

It is assumed that the electron charge accelerated in small-size betatons is of the same order as that in the classical betatron. However, the parameters of the interpolar space of small-size betatons significantly differ from the parameters of the classical betatron. We can expect that the value of the accelerated electron charge will be different. The paper presents the results of the measurements of the electron charge accelerated in a small-size betatron MIB-4. It is shown that the electron charge accelerated is this betatron is larger than that in the classical betatron

Analyzing the thermal regime of power supply units in portable betatrons by using infrared thermography

Potentials of infrared thermography in analyzing a thermal regime of the 7.5 MeV betatron power supply are discussed. Both the heating rate and thermal inertia of particular electronic components have been evaluated by processing pixel-based temperature histories. The data treatment has been performed by using the original ThermoFit Pro software to illustrate that some advanced processing algorithms, such as the Fourier transform and principle component analysis, are valuable in identifying thermal dynamics of particular power supply parts

The article is devoted to designing the high - frequency betatron. In high - frequency betatron most important problem is overheating of the elements of the body radiator unit. In an article some directions of solving this problem are shown

Betatron Application in Mobile and Relocatable Inspection Systems for Freight Transport Control

Accelerators with energy level up to 4 MeV having high level of penetration ability by steel equivalent are the popular to control oversize cargo transported by road, by railway and by river. Betatron's usage as cyclic induction accelerator has some advantages in comparison with linear accelerators and other sources. Tomsk Polytechnic University has developed many types of betatrons, most of them are being produced by separate affiliated company " Foton ". Article is shown the results of application of the betatrons in inspection custom systems

Simulation of injection and capture of beam electrons in small-size betatrons by the method of macroparticles

The simulation problem of self-consistent dynamics of electron beam in small-size betatrons has been considered. The description of numerical model developed on the basis of macroparticle method is presented. The results of process modelling of electron injection and capture on the acceleration mode in betatrons with axially-symmetrical and asymmetrical magnetic field are shown. Optimal input injection parameters by beam current and energy (20...40 keV and 0,1...1,0 А) providing the maximum number of the capture electrons are defined. The techniques of increasing capture efficiency due to using variations of external magnetic field and additional energy selection of circuital decelerating EMF of the captured electrons are numerically studied. It allows an increase in capture coefficient from 4 to 7,4 % and capture at the acceleration up to 7,4·1010 electrons

Focal Spot Size Estimation for a 4 MeV Small-size Betatron Using Digital X-ray Detector

One of the main advantages of small-size betatrons is small focal spot size. However there is no conventional procedure of focal spot size measurement for betatrons. Techniques described in standards are suitable only for low- and mid-energy tubes. The task become more complex if the focal spot size should be estimated quickly using modern digital detectors. In this paper we present preliminary results of focal spot size measurement of a 4 MeV small-size betatron with two different procedures using digital x-ray detector
