Prototype 1 MeV X-band linac for aviation cargo inspection

Aviation cargo unit load device (ULD) containers are typically much smaller than standard shipping containers, with a volume of around 1  m^{3}. Standard 3–6 MeV x-ray screening linacs have too much energy to obtain sufficient contrast when inspecting ULDs, hence a lower 1 MeV linac is required. In...
