ScandiNova has previously delivered 10x RF units, 1x K100, 6x K300 and 3x K400 to Măgurele. Six of these units are used in the ELI-GBS’s low-intensity configuration, which has since been successfully commissioned. The 7x RF units of model K300 have now been delivered for installation and will power the high-intensity configuration, the decisive step required for the accelerator to reach its full capacity and open up fully to the international research community.
ELI-GBS (ELI – Gamma-ray Beam System) is a world leading particle accelerator and radiation source that creates an extremely intense gamma-ray beam by colliding laser light with electrons travelling at close to the speed of light. The beam enables researchers to advance groundbreaking work across fields ranging from cancer treatment and materials science to nuclear waste management and astrophysics.
Accelerating electrons to the high energies required at the ELI-GBS facility demands not only high power, but also near-perfect control. Our pulsed RF units act as the accelerator’s drive system, delivering the powerful energy pulses that progressively increase the particles’ speed. By ensuring extremely high pulse stability, energy spread in the beam is minimized, creating the stable conditions researchers need for their groundbreaking precision experiments.
Pulse quality and reliability lie at the core of ScandiNova’s offering, something we continuously work to refine and improve in order to enable further progress in research, medical technology, and other important applications.
