Info

SILAC® Siemens Industrial Linear Accelerator The SILAC® Linear Accelerator System is designed for special Non Destructive Testing (NDT) applications and for usage in scanning devices for cargo and vehicles in the security sector. Stationary and mobile types are available with a variable set of energies in the range of 1 to 9 MeV photon radiation. The SILAC® System is a compact module, which includes all necessary components like linear accelerator, shielding, magnetron, high frequency modulator, power supplies, interfaces. Additional and optional components such as external supplies for hot and cold environment, or a collimator, are available. General information The system can be equipped with 2 types of linear accelerator for a wide energy range (6 MeV, 9 MeV maximum Energy). The actual energy level can be varied by means of software. The energy is defined by the maximum electron energy of the selected mode and generates a spectrum of photons according to the corresponding Bremsstrahlung. The modular design allows customized installations in a stationary environment in bunkers or control areas as well as mobile setups on trucks and non-stationary equipment. 2 Three main components are combined in one module design: ◾ An accelerator section ◾ An HF-generation section ◾ A control and interface section On request, it’s possible to include collimators or additional low leakage shielding. Control of the entire system is possible by an external user interface. This system software can be operated on any standard Windows-computer or by SPS system on customer site. It is possible to vary many parameters at the software control console like electron energy, pulse width, repetition rate or beam current. The integrated sensors for temperature, dose rate or water flow and the predefined software and mode tables supervise the status of the system at all times and produce warning messages or trigger system interlocks to avoid hazardous situations.

Power parameter The system is equipped with a linear electron accelerator, which accelerates through 3 GHz radiofrequency standing waves until the maximum electron energy from 1 to 9 MeV is reached, depending on the type of accelerator (other energies on request) (Figure 1). B. Cone beam 6 MeV The following dose values characterize the beam angle: 15°: Dose ~ 50 % of center beam line 45°: Dose ~ 9 % of center beam line C. Image quality Distinguishable wire diameter and distance of the double-wire penetrameter Phantom 5D are 320 µm, which corresponds to an image blur of 640 µm (Figure 2).
