Preliminary power test on C-band accelerator

A C-band 2 MeV standing wave accelerator is under development for engineering research on accelerator miniatu-rization. At present, significant progress has been achieved. The accelerating tube has been fully sealed, and the hot test platform for the accelerator has been built. At the repetition rate of 50 Hz, preliminary power test has been performed. It used the ionization chamber dose monitor to test the dose rate of X-rays at 1 m before the target, and the steel absorption method to test the energy of the electron beam. The preliminary test results show that, the beam energy is about 2.5 MeV, and the dose rate can be over 330 mGy/(minm).
