linac

One could resort to subcritical reactors, but that means adding a 100 MW (or so) 1 GeV linac to each to add the needed extra neutrons.

On the largest scales, the Linac Coherent Light Source and similar machines are generating a lot of buzz.

They then pivoted to emphasize neutrino research, which is perfectly doable with the linac and the main injector ring.

The subsection also authorizes an upgrade to the Matter in Extreme Conditions endstation at the Linac Coherent Light Source.

If you have good efficiency and luminosity as well as acceleration gradient, it might be valuable in the medical linac field.

The energy efficiency would also be a problem, as it is nowhere close to what an energy recovery linac could achieve.

Much of the cost of medical linacs is in controls and software, but having a smaller head makes the whole linac cheaper.

When a positive charge is applied to the anode, the electrons do accelerate although the effect isn't comparable to a magnetron, cyclotron or linac.

Physicist here, typing from the room next door to a linac.

It's heavily dependent on the linac and gantry a hospital has.

I, also volunteer, wrote control software, did radiation testing at UCD LinAc.

Not a big fan of bubble dosimeters, except when you need to measure a place you cannot be at the time of measurement (like on the unshielded roof of a linac bunker).

If your device isn't controlling a 25 MeV linac, "failing safely" may be as simple as halting or otherwise indicating an error.
