Description
The Advanced Sources and Detectors (ASD) Scorpius project is a collaboration between Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and the Nevada National Security Sites to develop and build a multi-pulse kiloampere-class 22 MeV electron accelerator for dynamic x-radiography for national security. The project has begun fabrication and assembly and is scheduled to become operational in 2028. Notably, ASD Scorpius uses a solid-state pulsed power system to deliver an extremely flexible range of electron – and thus x-ray – pulses. Also, the location of the accelerator in a pre-existing mine deep underground in Nevada imposes significant design constraints. This presentation will describe the design, current status, and plans for ASD Scorpius.
