Scorpius and The Integrated Test Stand [Slides]
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
Scorpius will provide (DARHT scale) flash-radiography of dynamic nuclear material. DARHT radiographs non-nuclear (surrogate) materials at a cadence of 8 to 10 hydrodynamic shots per year. Scorpius will radiograph nuclear material at an initial cadence of about 2 to 3 subcritical shots per year in a more challenging environment. Both machines are Linear Induction Accelerators (LIAs) and generate X-rays with high-current, relativistic electron beams. Their use is termed Flash-Radiography.
