Description

A compact 10 MeV S-band irradiation electron linear accelerator has been developed to simulate electronic radiation in outer space and carry out electron irradiation effect tests on spacecraft materials and devices. According to the requirements of space environment simulation, the electron beam energy is adjustable in the range of 3.5 MeV to 10 MeV, and the average current is adjustable in the range of 0.1 mA to 1 mA. The Linac should be capable of providing beam irradiation over a large area of 1 m2 with a uniformity of larger than 90% and a scanning rate of 100 Hz. A novel method has been applied to achieve such a high beam scanning rate, utilizing a combination of a kicker and a scanning magnet.
