Upgrading the AURORA Simulator.

Abstract

The necessary degree of control was acquired over those machine parameters that determine the bremsstrahlung dose output of the simulator, thereby improving the simulator efficiency and extending its range of applications. At a given charge voltage on the Marx generator, average dose output at the center of the test volume (TVC) was increased by about 20 percent, the peak dose output exceeded 50 krad (TVC) for the first time, and reproducible low dose (50 rad) at low beam energy (4 MeV) was established. One result of these improvements is that overall machine maintenance time has been reduced. (Author)
