Abstract

The compact electron linac RELUS-5 was developed for radiation investigation of material modification.

The experience of the standing wave electron accelerator building starting since first in the USSR standing wave electron linac RELUS-1 in 1978 [1] were used.

Electron energy range is from 3 to 5 MeV. Pulse length is from 3 to 6 μsec. Average power of accelerated beam is up to 1 kW.

The main task of submitted work is to build simple and cheap applied electron linac and to show how to do it.
