Pulse radiolysis system based on ELU-6E LINAC

Basic parameters and operating characteristics of the linear microwave accelerator ELU-6 and pulse radiolysis system are given. LINAC can operate in single pulse mode or with repetition of 10 to 200 pps. In nanosecond mode electron pulses of 7, 10 and 17 ns, beam currents10 A and an energy of 8 MeV are generated. In microsecond mode, duration of pulses can be varied from 0.3 to 4.5 s, beam current up to 1.2 A and energy not less than 5 MeV are available. Versatile pulse radiolysis system enables routine optical measurements in the range from 350 to 2500 nm on the time scale from 10 ns to a few seconds. Transient signals are recorded by a 400 MHz storage Tektronix oscilloscope or by an IWATSU TS8123 digital oscilloscope linked to an Apple II microcomputer incorporated into the Institute computer system. A set up for pulse conductivity measurements with s resolution time is also available.
