Description

Electron linear accelerators(linacs) have been widely used in industrial Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and cargo scanning for decades, exploiting their X-ray radiography features. The focal spot size is a critical parameter of an X-ray source, where a smaller focal spot size generally yields higher image resolution. To enhance system image resolution, Chengdu Elekom Vaccum Electron Technology Co. Ltd has developed a series of small focal spot linacs for industrial and cargo scanning applications. These linacs feature focal spot size bellow 1 mm, with some type achieving sub-0.5 mm performance. After rigorous testing in laboratory and field environments, they have demonstrated high dose rates and extended operational lifetimes. This paper will provide a detailed analysis of these linacs' performance.
