Abstract
The Rhodotron, a new type of cw electron accelerator, is particularly suitable for applications which need a powerful beam (30–200 kW) in the energy range of 1 to 20 MeV. The prototype built at CEA Saclay has shown the validity of the Rhodotron concept. During the preliminary tests performed in pulsed mode, a 14 kW electron beam at the energy of 3.5 MeV was extracted after a short tuning period. The tests of continuous mode will start shortly with a new gun (chepped at 180 MHz). A bremsstrahlung target has been installed at the output of the accelerator and the measured X-ray spectrum is qualitatively in agreement with the simulated one.
