This is the initial stage for the accelerator complex, after which specialists will bring the building to the required parameters for cleanliness, temperature, and humidity and begin assembling the main ring of the CCP "Skif". The accelerator is a magneto-vacuum system of the beam transport channel from the linac to the booster synchrotron. The equipment for the installation was manufactured by the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
As IA "TASS" quotes representatives of the IYaF SB RAS, the operation of the linear accelerator is extremely important.
The thing is that in cyclic accelerators, which have the shape of a ring, it is impossible to accelerate electrons starting from zero energy. From zero energy, it is necessary to accelerate to the minimum at which they can be successfully directed into the ring. If we have 200 volts in the socket, then this energy is in the region of 200 million electron volts. This is exactly what is needed to fly into the ring and then accelerate to 3 billion electron volts. The linear accelerator just solves this problem.
In total, 44 girders of the booster synchrotron will be assembled in the injector building, which form a ring with a perimeter of 158 meters. The accuracy of the position of the girder modules will be about 70 micrometers: this is the thickness of an adult's hair. In the booster synchrotron, the electron beam will accelerate to 3 GeV in half a second. The CCP "Skif" operates at this energy.
CCP "Skif"
A Russian accelerator with a diameter of the main electron storage ring and radiation source of 240 meters, which has no world analogues yet. In it, particles will move in a ring in a vacuum almost at the speed of light, and electromagnets will give them energy and set the trajectory.
The scientific complex of the Center for Collective Use "Skif" is a base of 34 buildings and structures under construction, engineering and technological equipment. The following will be carried out there:
- research with bright and intense beams of X-ray radiation in the fields of chemistry, physics, materials science, biology, geology, humanities;
- work for the needs of defense and security of Russia — in foreign practices, such installations are not used for defense industry tasks;
- developments to improve the health of Russians and create new dosage forms.
