Key Points

The research focuses on developing the MicroBeam Linatron (MBL) product line to improve imaging quality.
Introduced new Accelerator Beam Centerline (ABC) design for compact electron linacs
Conducted successful tests on a 6 MeV prototype
In progress with the development of 3 MeV and 9 MeV ABC prototypes
Collected experimental data on design performance
Achieved a focal spot size of less than 0.5 mm on the beam stopping target
Improved imaging qualities with produced Bremsstrahlung
Successful initial prototype tests indicate promise for future designs

Abstract

The High Energy Systems (HES) group at Varex Imaging Corporation (Varex) introduced a new concept and design for Accelerator Beam Centerline (ABC) (patent pending), which can be used on compact commercial electron linear accelerators in 1-20 MeV energy range, delivering substantially reduced, less than 0.5 mm focal spot on a beam stopping target in order to improve imaging qualities with the produced Bremsstrahlung. The first 6 MeV prototype tests have been completed successfully, and the work continues to build and test a 3 MeV and 9 MeV ABC prototypes. These linac systems received a brand name MicroBeam Linatron (MBL) series. The design and experimental data obtained up to date are presented.
