| MOPO026 | The Resonance Frequency Shift After Applying the Cooling System for a Side Coupled Standing Wave Linac | 81 |
|
||
| A radio frequency accelerator tube used in linear medical accelerators includes three main sections of the radio frequency cavity, an electron gun and the X-ray target, which is vacuumed by a pump inside it. The electromagnetic energy loss in the structure of the cavity can increase the temperature of the tube, resulting in changes in the geometric dimensions and then changes in some of the cavity characteristics, such as the resonance frequency. A cooling system is required to prevent excessive change in the resonant frequency due to thermal loss. Also, it is necessary to perform some computer simulations to stabilize the cavity’s performance in the presence of electromagnetic energy thermal dissipation and the cooling system. In this paper, the simulation results of resonant frequency shifts after applying the cooling system have been reported. | ||

| MOPO069 | Nuclear and Mechanical Basic Design of Target for Mo-99 Production Using High Power Electron Linac | 148 |
|
||
| Today providing enough supplies of 99mTc / 99Mo as a high usage radioisotope in diagnostic nuclear medicine for the world demand is a big challenge. One of the proofed ways to access reliable source of this radioisotopes is production using e-LINAC [1]. In this investigation it was tried to find the simple and the optimized design of 99Mo production target based on photoneutron reaction using e-LINAC. Based on the Monte-Carlo calculation for radiation transport and finite element thermal analysis, 9 thin plates of enriched 100Mo was suggested. Equal distance between plates was considered for cooling to prevent target melting. The main target includes only 100Mo in one-stage approach method to increase production rate in compare with two-stage approach [2]. Applying 2.5 m/s for inlet velocity of cooling water provides suitable cooling process with maximum temperature of target about 900 ˚C. | ||

| MOPO070 | Construction of the Side-coupled Standing-wave e-Linac | 151 |
|
||
|
Due to Iran’s growing need for accelerators in various applications, NSTRI electron linear accelerator project has been defined for medical and inspection applications. This accelerator is a 6 MeV side-coupled standing-wave that operate is π /2 mode in the frequency of 2998.5 MHz. In this paper the construction and measurement results of the tube of this accelerator are presented. The prototype tube was constructed from aluminum and was clamped with bolts. By using a network analyzer, electric and magnetic probes and a side-coupled cavity tuning method and a bead-pull measurement technique, RF measurements were carried out. The resonant frequency and quality factor have been achieved 2998.5 MHz and 7940 respectively .

| TUPO119 | A Diagnostics Box for the Linear Accelerator of Institute for Research in Fundamental Science (IPM) | 581 |
|
||
| The IPM linac is an 8 MeV (up gradable to 11 MeV) electron linear accelerator under development at Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences, Tehran, Iran. The design and construction of the linac is nearly finished and it is in the commissioning stage. The commissioning is planned in several phase of different energy ranging from 50 keV to 8 MeV. At each phase appropriate diagnostics is required in order to investigate the linac performance. A diagnostics box including a scintillator view screen, a dipole magnet, and a focusing solenoid is designed to diagnose the beam longitudinal and transverse parameters in wide range of energy. These parameters are the beam transverse profile, size, position, emittance and the energy spectrum. | ||

| TUPO120 | The Study of the Length and Shape of Beam in a High Power Electron Accelerator | 584 |
|
||
| The output beam of a high-power linear accelerator, used for industrial purposes, is irradiated on products and scanning them. In order to improve the dosimetry of radiation which products received and to prevent loss of the attacked- beams to the edge of products, the exact evaluation of scanning length is necessary . One of the other challenges of the scanning beam is the lack of uniformity in dosimetry of received radiation . The scanning beam does not collide in parallel to the products, which is also a challenge to accelerator efficiency. To improve dosimetry of received radiation, the use of trajectory correction magnets is suggested. These magnets correct the beams that do not scan in parallel. Also, using the Monte Carlo code, the dosing rate of received radiation to products is simulated and compared in two non-uniform and uniform modes (corrected by trajectory correction magnets. | ||
