Description

Several attractive features of a novel electron Cyclotron Resonance Accelerator (eCRA) include: a compact robust room-temperature single-cell RF cavity as the accelerator structure; continuous ampere-level high current output without bunching; and a self-scanning accelerated energetic e-beam, obviating need for a separate beam scanner. Hence an eCRA can be highly compact and efficient to produce high power electron beams and x-ray beams. The applications of the eCRA includes the replacement of Cs-137 based dosimeter calibration system, and the replacement of Co-60 based sterilization system. The R&D progress of eCRA is reported here. A 2 MeV eCRA Demonstrator is under construction at BNL to validate the eCRA acceleration mechanism experimentally. A 5 MeV eCRA Upgrade with high beam power is in the design phase.
