Beam Scanning System of an Industrial Electron Accelerator

Abstract

To create a compact beam scanning system along the conveyor, this paper considers the horizontal placement of the accelerator with a magnetic system for rotating the beam by 90\({}^{\circ}\). Three-dimensional modelling of the magnetic system and electron dynamics within it was carried out. Dose distributions in the near-surface area of the irradiated object were also obtained, based on which the optimal laws of changing the current and voltage of the scanning magnet were determined, ensuring the required conditions for product irradiation.
