Abstract

A U.S./Russian collaboration of accelerator scientists was directed to the development of high averaged-current (∼1 mA) and high-quality (emittance ∼15 πmm mrad; energy spread ∼0.1%) 1.75 MeV proton beams to produce active interrogation beams that could be applied to counterterrorism. Several accelerator technologies were investigated. These included an electrostatic tandem accelerator of novel design, a compact cyclotron, and a storage ring with energy compensation and electron cooling. Production targets capable of withstanding the beam power levels were designed, fabricated, and tested. The cyclotron/storage-ring system was theoretically studied and computationally designed, and the electrostatic vacuum tandem accelerator at BINP was demonstrated for its potential in active interrogation of explosives and special nuclear materials.

摘要

一个由美国和俄罗斯加速器科学家组成的合作团队致力于开发高平均电流（约1毫安）和高质量（发射度约15π毫米毫弧度；能量分散约0.1%）的1.75兆电子伏特质子束，以产生可用于反恐的有源探询束。研究了几种加速器技术。这些技术包括一种新型设计的静电串联加速器、一台紧凑型回旋加速器以及一个具有能量补偿和电子冷却功能的储存环。设计、制造并测试了能够承受束流功率水平的生产靶。对回旋加速器/储存环系统进行了理论研究和计算设计，并展示了BINP的静电真空串联加速器在有源探询爆炸物和特殊核材料方面的潜力。
