Abstract

Several modern applications of radiation processing require compact and self-contained electron accelerators. To match these requirements, a 5 MeV, 1 kW electron linac has been developed at the Dipartimento di Fisica (Università di Messina) and will be described in this paper. This standing wave accelerator, driven by a 3 GHz, 2.5 MW magnetron generator, has an autofocusing structure and will be used to study several applications of radiation processing.
