Low Energy Accelerator

The 8 m long 350 mhz rfq structure.

Low energy accelerator.

The clean energy for low income communities accelerator celica aimed to lower energy bills for low income communities through a voluntary partnership between doe and state local governments. In a linear particle accelerator linac particles are accelerated in a straight line with a target of interest at one end. The low energy accelerator facility leaf consists of an electron linear accelerator linac and a van de graaff vdg electron accelerator. Argonne national laboratory s low energy accelerator facility leaf is a 50 mev 25 kw electron linear accelerator taht can produce a wide range of useful radioisotopes for medical national security basic science and industrial applications.

Originally built in 1969 the linac recently underwent a significant upgrade to increase the beam power and energy. The longest linac in the world is the stanford linear accelerator slac which is 3 km 1 9 mi long. The lep s energy accelerator is an innovative programme designed to help low carbon and energy efficient projects become a reality where they may otherwise not have been completed due to a lack of capacity expertise and funding.
