Variable Energy 2-MeV S-Band Linac for X-ray and Other Applications

This paper describes the design and operation of a compact, 2-MeV, S-band linear accelerator (linac) with variable energy tuning and short-pulse operation down to 15 ps with 100-A peak current. The design consists of a buncher cavity for short-pulse operation and two coupled resonator sections for acceleration. Single-pulse operation is accomplished through a fast injector system with a 219-MHz subharmonic buncher. The machine is intended to support a variety of applications, such as x-ray and electron beam diagnostic development, and recently, electron diffraction studies of phase transitions in shocked materials

Preliminary Results from in Situ Quartz Fiber Neutron Irradiations

Optical transmission characteristics of multi-mode synthetic silica-core fibers between 325 nm and 800 nm were studied in situ while irradiated with neutrons. In one case, fiber samples were placed in the core of a 10-kWatt reactor; in the other, fast neutrons generated by p ( 18 MeV) + Be reaction in a cyclotron, irradiated the fibers. The neutron fluence in both studies totaled ~10^15 n/cm2. Both of these initial studies indicate that in the sensitivity region of bialkiline PMTs, the irradiation induced loss is ~1dB/m. These initial experiments are aimed at establishing a fiber testing methodology for assessing the expected degradation of the CMS forward calorimeter at the LHC due to large neutron backgrounds
