PENETRATING RADIATION SOURCE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: acceleration engineering. SUBSTANCE: penetrating radiation source is based upon betatron, which has electromagnet. The latter has set of central inserts 1, poles 2 and back magnetic circuit 3. Vacuum accelerating chamber 5 is disposed inside space 4 formed by poles 2. Additional target 8 is mounted inside chamber 5 symmetrically its circular axis, which belongs to median plane. Both targets 7 and 8 are oriented in height symmetrically in relation to circular axis of chamber 9. Bias winding, which has to be load of pulse current generator, is connected across a diagonally opposite pair of junctions of the bridge, formed by communicating elements. Due to application of radiation source hard radiation flux may be scanned by means of shifting accelerated electrons alternately on targets 7 and 8. Radiation output angle may be improved twice and article under exposure may be approached to the radiator. EFFECT: improved efficiency; reduced exposure time; improved reliability. 2 dwg
