ABSTRACT

Cargo scanning of contra band objects by high energetic X-rays requires compact and self-contained RF linacs.To achieve this goal, a 6MeV, 700W standing wave RF electron linac has been developed at Accelerator and Pulse Power Division,BARC.To obtain the image of scanned objects with good resolution requires a focused electron beam at the target.This paper presents the design,development and integration of a solenoid magnet with a compact RF linac and its performance with electron beam for cargo scanning applications.
