3. Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Linear_Accelerator...

   The Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications (CLARA) is a scientific user facility at Daresbury Laboratory. It is an electron linear accelerator (linac) currently under construction in the Electron Hall. CLARA is made up of three phases; Phase 1 is operational and has achieved energies of 50 MeV with bunch charges >250 pC. Phase ...

   Linear accelerator Animation of the operation of a medical use linear accelerator. The French company CGR manufactured the Neptune and Sagittaire linear accelerators.. In the early 1970s, CGR and the Canadian public company Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) collaborated on the construction of linear accelerators controlled by a DEC PDP-11 minicomputer: the Therac-6, which produced X-rays ...

5. Linear particle accelerator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_particle_accelerator

   As linear accelerators were developed with higher beam currents, using magnetic fields to focus proton and heavy ion beams presented difficulties for the initial stages of the accelerator. Because the magnetic force is dependent on the particle velocity, it was desirable to create a type of accelerator which could simultaneously accelerate and ...

6. CERN Hadron Linacs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN_Hadron_LINACs

   It was decided to build a new linear accelerator, since the old Linac was unable to keep up with the technical advances of the other machines within CERN's accelerator complex. Linac 2 replaced the Linac as CERN's primary source of proton beams in 1978. It kept the same beam energy of 50 MeV, but allowed for more intense beams with beam ...

7. Cyberknife (device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberknife_(device)

   The device consists of a small linear accelerator attached to a robotic arm, along with an integrated image guidance system. During treatment, the image guidance system captures 3D images, tracks the movement of tumors, and guides the robotic arm to accurately aim the treatment beam at the moving tumor.
