Idaho Accelerator Home ISIS - Idaho State Induction Accelerator System
ISIS (Idaho State Induction Accelerator System) is a pulsed-power accelerator that was donated to ISU by Titan Corp. When fully operational, ISIS will give the IAC a new high power accelerator capability. It will produce a world class electron beam of 1-2 cm diameter with peak energy of 9.5 MeV, 10 kA current, and a pulse width of ~ 35 ns. Peak power will be approximately 0.1 TW. The first test programs will focus on high dose-rate radiation biology and beam physics.

For scheduling, contact Dr. Vesselin Dimitrov

The SLIA accelerator at TITAN Corp. before disassembly and transportation to the IAC.

    High Intensity Electron or Bremsstrahlung Radiation Source:
  • Beam Energies: tunable, 2.5 to 7.0 MeV (mono-energetic)
  • Maximum Beam Current: 12 kA at 2.5 MeV, 7 kA at 7.0 MeV
  • Pulse Width: 35 ns, rise and fall time selectable 7-15 ns
  • Maximum Repetition Rate: 1 shot every 2-3 minutes
  • Maximum Dose Rates:
    e-beam: 2x1014rad/s over 5 cm2
    bremsstrahlung: 5x1011rad/s over 5 cm2
  • Shot Reproduceability: +/-15%, electron energy: ±10%
  • Cost: $500 /hr.
Please see additional information on beam characteristics, and test/sampling techniques.
