Description

Ultra-high-dose-rate (UHDR) radiation is considered to trigger the so-called flash effect which spares the normal tisse while retains the therapeutic effect on tumor. X-ray is the least explored modality compared to electron or proton. The main challenge is to have electron accelerator achieving both high power and fast response. We introduce a compact radiator using a 10-MeV, backward travelling wave linac. This radiator generated X-rays with dose rate of 80 Gy/s at the SSD of 50 cm. It worked stably with the dose fluctuation less than 1%.
