Monte Carlo Simulations Demonstrating Physics of Equivalency of Gamma, Electronbeam, and X-ray for Radiation Sterilization
Thomas K. Kroc
The sterilization of medical devices using the gamma rays from the decay of cobalt-60 has accumulated decades of experience of the performance of the materials and devices that are…
High Efficiency, Low Cost, RF Sources for Accelerators and Colliders
R. Lawrence Ives, Michael Read, Thuc Bui +9
Several high efficiency, low cost, RF sources are in development or recently completed. All are designed to provide operating efficiencies exceeding 80% and provide more than 100 k…
The Need for Further Development of Magnetrons as RF Sources for HEP
Thomas Kroc, Vyacheslav Yakovlev, Charles Thangaraj +2
Proposal to develop magnetrons as RF sources for HEP
Superconducting Accelerators for High-Power X-ray production
Thomas K. Kroc
To date, linear accelerators (linacs) as electron sources used to produce ionizing radiation for industrial purposes have been limited to less than 100 kW. When the electron beam i…
Motivation and Development of a Compact Superconducting Accelerator for X-ray Medical Device Sterilization
Thomas K. Kroc
Fermilab is developing a compact superconducting CSRF accelerator as a source of a high-power, high-energy electron beam to produce an x-ray beam comparable to 2 MCi of coba…
Illinois Accelerator Research Center
Thomas K. Kroc, Charlie A Cooper
The Illinois Accelerator Research Center (IARC) hosts a new accelerator development program at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. IARC provides access to Fermi's state-of-the-a…
Neutron Therapy in the 21st Century
Thomas K. Kroc, James S. Welsh
The question of whether or not neutron therapy works has been answered. It is a qualified yes, as is the case with all of radiation therapy. But, neutron therapy has not kept pace…
Preliminary investigations of Monte Carlo Simulations of neutron energy and LET spectra for fast neutron therapy facilities
T. K. Kroc
No fast neutron therapy facility has been built with optimized beam quality based on a thorough understanding of the neutron spectrum and its resulting biological effectiveness. A…
Continued Monitoring of the Conditioning of the Fermilab Linac 805 MHz Cavities
E. McCrory, T. Kroc, A. Moretti +1
We have reported previously on the conditioning of the high-gradient accelerating cavities in the Fermilab Linac. Automated measurements of the sparking rate have been recorded sin…
