Partnership to Accelerate Industry Innovation
Oct 29 2018
Teledyne e2v, a leading supplier of technologies and components for industry and STFC have formed a strategic relationship to advance particle accelerator technologies and bring exciting new opportunities for UK industry.
Through this agreement Teledyne e2v will gain access to the Compact Linac accelerator and radiation enclosure at STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory, supporting the development of new products and integrated RF and X-ray systems. Meanwhile, for STFC, the agreement will deliver specialist technical support for the Compact Linac, provided by Teledyne e2v, which manufactured a number of the original components.
The Compact Linac is a compact electron beam and X-ray linear accelerator that is extremely applicable to industry market areas such as security scanning, healthcare and environmental applications. It can be configured with either a 3.5 MeV accelerating cavity designed by Lancaster University and STFC, or a commercially available 6 MeV Linac. Professor Susan Smith, Head of STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory, said: “STFC’s collaboration with Teledyne e2v will deliver long term benefit to both accelerator science and to industry. Working with such a high profile industrial partner is a tremendous opportunity for STFC to co-develop new X-ray beam generation technologies for both research and industrial solutions and clearly demonstrates our ability to support UK businesses in the area of particle accelerators and their associated components and systems.”
Dr Ewan Livingstone, President of RF Power Commercial at Teledyne-e2v, commented: “Teledyne e2v is delighted to be collaborating with STFC. The collaboration provides Teledyne e2v with access to the Council’s world class facilities and people. It is a fantastic platform for joint innovation and is already helping us to accelerate the development of new products and solutions for our customers.”
