<strong>SILAC®</strong><br />
<strong>Siemens</strong> <strong>Industrial</strong> <strong>Linear</strong> <strong>Accelerator</strong><br />
The <strong>SILAC®</strong> <strong>Linear</strong> <strong>Accelerator</strong> System is designed for<br />
special Non Destructive Testing (NDT) applications and for<br />
usage in scanning devices for cargo and vehicles in the<br />
security sector.<br />
Stationary and mobile types are available with a variable<br />
set of energies in the range of 1 to 9 MeV photon radiation.<br />
The <strong>SILAC®</strong> System is a compact module, which includes<br />
all necessary components like linear accelerator, shielding,<br />
magnetron, high frequency modulator, power supplies,<br />
interfaces.<br />
Additional and optional components such as external<br />
supplies for hot and cold environment, or a collimator, are<br />
available.<br />
General information<br />
The system can be equipped with 2 types of linear accelerator<br />
for a wide energy range (6 MeV, 9 MeV maximum<br />
Energy). The actual energy level can be varied by means<br />
of software.<br />
The energy is defined by the maximum electron energy of<br />
the selected mode and generates a spectrum of photons<br />
according to the corresponding Bremsstrahlung.<br />
The modular design allows customized installations in a<br />
stationary environment in bunkers or control areas as well<br />
as mobile setups on trucks and non-stationary equipment.<br />

Three main components are combined in one module<br />
design:<br />
◾ An accelerator section<br />
◾ An HF-generation section<br />
◾ A control and interface section<br />
On request, it’s possible to include collimators or additional<br />
low leakage shielding.<br />
Control of the entire system is possible by an external<br />
user interface. This system software can be operated on<br />
any standard Windows-computer or by SPS system on<br />
customer site.<br />
It is possible to vary many parameters at the software<br />
control console like electron energy, pulse width, repetition<br />
rate or beam current.<br />
The integrated sensors for temperature, dose rate or<br />
water flow and the predefined software and mode tables<br />
supervise the status of the system at all times and produce<br />
warning messages or trigger system interlocks to avoid<br />
hazardous situations.
