Because it involves more accelerating structures with multiple RF frequencies and phase relationships, and a high-performance electron gun source to inject the electrons in about one nanosecond, a sub-harmonic pre-buncher adds a lot of cost and complexity of operation ofthe linac facility. Consequently, only a few pre-bunched picosecond linacs were built for pulse radiolysis studies. The first one was installed at Argonne National Laboratory in the 1970s [2] subsequently other picosecond installations were built at the University of Tokyo Nuclear Energy Research Laboratory (NERL) in Tokai-Mura [3,4] and Osaka University [4].Very recently, a new pre-bunched linacfor pulse radiolysis has been built at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics.
