3 Radiation Effects NSWC Crane s Strategic Mission support testing of electronics in various radiation environments both manmade and natural. Natural Environments Galactic Cosmic Rays Solar Protons & Heavy Ions Trapped Particles Man Made Environments Natural Environments Solar Protons Galactic Cosmic Rays (Neutrons) Man Made Environments Neutrons Gamma Rays

4 Current Crane Capabilities Capabilities Dose Rate (Rad/s) 1x1 12 Pulse Width (narrow) Pulse Width (wide) Beam Spot Size Pulse Rep Rate Energy 1-5 ns 1-5 us 4 mm 1 shots/sec 4-6 mev Most powerful electron accelerator in the Department of Defense Moore s Law MHz GHz Pentium Linac 1.3 GHz Klystrons

5 Goals Eliminate RF Modulation Provide higher dose rates for survivability testing. Provide higher fidelity test environment More uniform beam Larger area beams More hospitable test environment Low electronic noise Solution Overview Couple a linac with a electron storage ring Long pulse mode (up to 4 µs) Debunching Short Pulse mode (.1-5 ns) High dose rate (> 1 12 Rad/s) Use non linear optics to shape beam Eliminate masking and associated secondary scattering More efficient use of beam
