Abstract

Bremsstrahlung radiation is highly sought after for endless applications from medical and biological to military uses. Bremsstrahlung radiation is typically produced by nuclear reactors and linear accelerators, these sources are rarely practical due to their large sizes. A novel device is being designed and tested at LANL to meet the need for a compact bremsstrahlung radiation source. The klynac, a combined klystron — linac device, is designed to be a compact source that accelerates an electron beam from a klystron source to 1 MeV. The novel device consists of 8 cavities, the first four are coupled klystron cavities and the second four serve as accelerating cavities. This device operates at 2.856 GHz.
