| Abstract |
An L-Band 7.7-9.8 MeV CW relatively inexpensive microtron with a warm accelerating cavity for multi-purpose applications in nuclear medicine and radiation industry is proposed. The microtron with a photo-neutron converter is intended to serve as an intense source of photo-neutrons with yield up to 4·10¹² n/s for nuclear medicine or/and producing of short lived isotopes, as a source of gamma-radiation with dose rates up to 130 kR/min·m with a heavy bremsstrahlung target, and as a source of the electron beam with total energy of 9.8 MeV at the average current up to 4.4 mA for various radiation treatments.
