Description

The Alin-10 17 MeV electron linac designed for the rapeutic treatment of cancer and radiation technology is described. An accelerating system is 250 cm long and is equipped with a deflector permitting a beam to make pendular motion around the accelerator axis and to deflect the beam at 90 deg. Maximum pulse current equals 100 mA. At a distance of 1 m from a target the accelerator radiation equals 1500 R/min when operating with bremsstrahlung at 100 Hz frequency. Accelerator components are described and their characteristics are given. Irradiation head consists of the following elements: 1mm thick gold conversion target, movable and stationary collimators, monitor with ionization chamber, optical system for modelling real configuration of irradiation filter for producing homogeneous beam distribution over the irradiation field area
