Description
Linear induction accelerator LIA is designed and developed at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in 2010 year as injector for fullscale radiographic machine. Now it is currently used as independent radiographic X-ray source for testing objects with an optical thickness up to 70 mm lead equivalent. In 2014 year the high-voltage power supply system was upgraded. Accelerator operates in one pulse and in a double-pulse mode – up to 2 MeV. Time delay between two frames can be changed in the range of 2 ÷ 100 us with a minimum pitch of 5 ns. Energy spread in each pulse does not exceed ± 0.5% [1].
The operation results in single-pulse mode and double-pulse mode are presented. The maximum possible emittance electron beam, allowing to compress beam spot size to about 1 mm on the target, is estimated.
