Versa HD linear accelerator (linac), launched in 2013. [12] Elekta Unity MR-Linac, the first high field (1.5 Tesla) MR-Linac combines magnetic resonance imaging with a radiation therapy (MR/RT) system (linear accelerator). It was developed together with UMC Utrecht and Philips [13] and launched in 2018. [14] Harmony linear accelerator, launched ...
Linear particle accelerator. The linac within the Australian Synchrotron uses radio waves from a series of RF cavities at the start of the linac to accelerate the electron beam in bunches to energies of 100 MeV. A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to linac) is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged subatomic ...
Used to separate Uranium 235 isotope for the Manhattan project, after the end of World War II used for separation of medical and other isotopes. 95-inch cyclotron. Harvard Cyclotron Laboratory. 1949–2002. Circular. Proton. 160 MeV. Used for nuclear physics 1949 – ~ 1961, development of clinical proton therapy until 2002.
The longest linac in the world is the Stanford Linear Accelerator, SLAC, which is 3 km (1.9 mi) long. SLAC was originally an electron–positron collider but is now a X-ray Free-electron laser. Linear high-energy accelerators use a linear array of plates (or drift tubes) to which an alternating high-energy field is applied.
Megavoltage X-rays are produced by linear accelerators ("linacs") operating at voltages in excess of 1000 kV (1 MV) range, and therefore have an energy in the MeV range. The voltage in this case refers to the voltage used to accelerate electrons in the linear accelerator and indicates the maximum possible energy of the photons which are subsequently produced. [1]
Energy recovery linac. An energy recovery linac (ERL) is a type of linear particle accelerator that provides a beam of electrons used to produce x-rays by synchrotron radiation. [1] First proposed in 1965 [2] the idea gained interest since the early 2000s. [3]
LCLS. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, originally named the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, [2][3] is a federally funded research and development center in Menlo Park, California, United States. Founded in 1962, the laboratory is now sponsored by the United States Department of Energy and administrated by Stanford University.
The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a proposed linear particle accelerator. [1] It is planned to have a collision energy of 500 GeV initially, with the possibility for a later upgrade to 1000 GeV (1 TeV). Although early proposed locations for the ILC were Japan, Europe (CERN) and the USA (Fermilab), [2] the Kitakami highland in the Iwate ...
