What is Electron Beam Processing

The main part of an accelerator is obviously the electron injector system or electron gun placed on the upper portion of a cavity called the res 

The energy of accelerated electrons is around 0.5 to 2.5 MeV and the beam power is about 20 kW over the entire energy range. The unit of radiation dose is the Gray (Gy) and is defined as the dose required by 1 kilogram of material to absorb I Joule of energy. 

The dose rate (Dr) for an electron accelerator can be written in terms of beam current (I) and irradiation field area (R) 

An important point should be noted here that some ozone is formed during irradiation which is harmful to polymers and should be removed. Typical ozone output within an air gap between an irradiated subject and an extraction foil of 0.05 mm thickness is 60 mg/sec.
