Title: Report of the workshop on the proposed pulse radiolysis facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory, September 8th and 9th, 1989

Abstract

The Brookhaven National Laboratory Chemistry Department is considering making a request to the Department of Energy for a linear accelerator for radiation chemical studies. The machine being considered is based on a radio-frequency resonant cavity electron gun with a laser-drive photocathode source, similar to the 5 MeV gun developed at the Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility. The laser can be synchronized with the rf to produce a single bunch of electrons (about 30 ps) containing about 20 nanocoulombs. Shorter pulses can be generated at correspondingly small doses. A laser pulse extending over several rf wavelengths can be used to produce longer and more intense electron pulses. This device offers the possibility of an economical machine with the added advantage of a synchronized electron beam and laser beam which can be used for analysis at sub-nanosecond times. A workshop was held at Brookhaven in the Chemistry Department on September 8 and 9, 1989, to determine how much outside user interest there is in such a machine and what support equipment the users would need. About 30 people attended the conference--some from laboratories with pulse radiolysis facilities and other who might be interested in using the new facility. The capabilities of the majormore » existing facilities and a few others in the Eastern US were discussed in detail and are presented.« less
