Linear electron accelerator LINAC LPR-4
- The linear electron accelerator of LINAC LPR-4
type (constructed by the Czechoslovak firm TESLA V.T.)
was put into operation in 1983.
- The accelerator produces pulsed electron radiation with an average energy of 4 MeV.
The nominal pulse length can be set to 2.6 μs, 800 ns or - using a separate
electrostatic deflection system - 80 ns.
The repetition frequency of the electron pulses are selectable between 6.25 and 50 Hz,
but single pulse can also be fired by an external trigger signal.
-
The accelerator is equipped with a computer controlled data acquisition
system for pulse radiolysis experiments, enabling also reaction kinetics studies.
-
The accelerator and the pulse radiolysis system are operated at the
Department of Radiation Chemistry.
