• Low Energy accelerators: From few KeV to MeVSuch accelerators include electrostatic accelerators (single ended, tandem, ion implantors), cyclotrons and electron accelerators (LINAC, Microtrons, Betatrons, High power DC and RF accelerators, etc).
• High Energy Accelerators: From MeV to GeVHigh energy accelerators are used mainly for doing R&D works on
high energy physics, synchrontron radiation and nuclear physics.
Types of Accelerator
![Page 5: Accelerator Science and Technology: Current Status and ...research.daffodilvarsity.edu.bd/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Accelerator... · Fulerene (C 60) ion spectrum produced by Freeman](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041700/5e411d3644b29f07491bbf21/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Types of AcceleratorsAccelerator facilities make use of several types of devices to build up the energy of the particles. Some of the types of apparatus used are:
•Cockroft-Walton accelerators: high DC voltage device which accelerates ions through steps of voltage created by a voltage divider.
•Van de Graaf accelerators: charge is transported by an insulating belt to a conductor which builds in voltage as a result of charge collection.
•Cyclotrons: An oscillating electric field repetitively accelerates charged particles across the gap between semicircular magnetic field regions.
•Synchrocyclotrons: cyclotrons with variable-frequency accelerating voltages to track relativistic effects.
•Betatrons: electron accelerators in a circular geometry with acceleration achieved by magnetic flux increase.
•Synchrotrons: large ring accelerators where the particles move in an evacuated tube at constant radius, accelerated by radio frequency applications with synchronous magnetic field increases to maintain the constant radius.
•Linear Accelerators: linear arrays of radio frequency acceleration cells.

Future Provisions:• Provisions for future Isotope production: (COST: unknown)
– Generally this type of accelerators are not used for medical isotope production because of slow output but are used for research purpose.
– Requires high-tech chemistry laboratory for isotope processing thus expensive.
• Provisions for future microprobe: (COST: 8-10 Crore Approx.)– Requires high-tech equipments, which were not included in the DPP. Generally the
equipments are produced by other companies than the accelerator manufacturers and quite expensive.
• Provisions for future AMS system:(COST: 12-13 Crore Approx.)– We kept necessary space and accessories for future insertion of AMS equipment in
both low energy and high energy side of the accelerator.– Requires high-tech equipments, which are very expensive and thus were not possible
to buy within the DPP price. Generally the equipments are produced by the same companies which manufacturers the accelerator.
– Also requires high-tech chemistry laboratory for sample processing, which is expensive.

Proton induced X-ray emmission (PIXE)
PIXE: As a charged particle moves through a material, it loses energy primarily by exciting electrons in the atoms that it passes by. Electrons in the inner shells of the atom (predominantly the K and L shells) are given enough energy to cause them to be ejected, resulting in an unstable electron atomic configuration. Electrons from higher shells in the atom then 'drop down' to fill these vacancies, and in so doing, give off excess energy in the form of X-rays. The energies of these X-rays are characteristic of the element and therefore can be used to identify elemental composition. On the other hand, by measuring intensities of characteristic X-ray lines one can determine concentrations of almost all elements in the sample down to approximately 1 ppm (part-per-million).
PIXE technique: PIXE is a powerful and relatively simple analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify trace elements typically ranging from Al to U. Sample irradiation is usually performed by means of 2-3 MeV protons produced by an accelerator. X-ray detection is usually done by energy dispersive semiconductor detectors such as Si(Li). An example of a PIXE spectrum obtained from an aerosol sample is shown below. This spectrum was accumulated in less than 5 minutes, using 2.6 MeV protons with a 10 nA beam current.

PIXE
PIXE (proton induced X-ray emission) is based on atomic fluorescence created by energetic protons and the analysis is performed by measuring the characteristic X-rays emitted from the sample. ure major, minor and trace elements in different sample matrices such as, biomedical, environmental, agricultural and industrial samples.
PIXE is a multi-elemental analytical technique and is capable of measuring elements from Aluminum (Al) up to Uranium (U) in a single experiment

Proton induced gamma emission (PIGE)Principles: When a charged particle (typically protons) approaches the nucleus of a target atom, the coulomb force usually repels it. However when the incident particle has enough energy to overcome the repulsive coulomb force a charged particle then penetrates through the electrostatic barrier into the nucleus, resulting in interactions with the nuclear forces. During that process, a number of interactions occur, depending on the energy of the incident particle and the type of target nucleus. Typically, a nuclear reaction will occur, resulting in the emission of high energy gamma rays and other nuclear particles. In PIGE, emitted gamma rays are of particular interest as their energies are characteristic of the element and is therefore used to fingerprint elemental composition while yields are used to quantify elemental concentrations.
Detection of emitted gamma rays is done by large volume Ge detectors. PIGE is typically run in conjunction with PIXE and RBS and is used to quantify concentrations of low Z elements such as: Li, F, Na, Mg and Al. Detection limits vary from element to element but it is typically ppm level.

PIGE
PIGE: Proton induced gamma emission is based on nuclear reaction and the analysis is performed by measuring the characteristic Gamma-rays emitted from the elements present in the sample.
PIGE is particularly useful for measurements of light elements such as F, B, Mg, Na, etc. in different matrices such as, biomedical, environmental, agricultural and industrial samples, which are inaccessible by PIXE. PIGE is capable for isotopic speciation of the sample.

Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS)
Basic Physical Principles: RBS primarily provides information on the profile of concentration versus depth for heavy elements in a light material, e.g. titanium in alumina. Typically, a beam of 2-3 MeV He+ ions is directed perpendicularly on the sample’s surface. As energetic ion penetrates the material, it loses energy mainly in collisions with electrons and only occasionally with nuclei. When the positively charged He+ ion comes close to the nucleus of an atom, it will be repelled by positively charged nucleus. The repulsion force is increasing with the mass of the target atom. For very heavy atoms such as lead or gold, the He+ ion can be repelled backwards with nearly the same energy as it had before the collision. By measuring the energy spectrum of the recoiled ions, information on the composition of the elements, and their depth within the sample can be obtained.
Detection: In RBS, only backscattered ions are detected, and backscattering can only occur if the target atom’s mass is heavier than that of the incident ion. Conventional RBS is done with 4He ions.
In addition to a typical RBS applications such as thin film analysis, RBS is often used in conjunction with PIXE and PIGE to determine concentrations of low Z elements such as C, O, N.
