Draft:LANL Microtron

Review waiting, please be patient.

This may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 2,536 pending submissions waiting for review.

If the submission is accepted, then this page will be moved into the article space.
If the submission is declined, then the reason will be posted here.
In the meantime, you can continue to improve this submission by editing normally.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

Improving your odds of a speedy review

To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.

The microtron at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in Santa Fe, New Mexico US was originally designed as a medical therapy machine, but 2001 it has been used for non-destructive radiography of thick objects and R&D. This particular Microtron operates at 4 tunes with nominal energy endpoints of 6, 10, 15, and 20 MeV producing ~ 780, 1800, 2700,268 and 2800 R/min at 1 meter from the source ^[1]

In 2018, a study was done using the Microtron to examine the performance of large-panel cerium-doped lutetium yttrium silicon oxide (LYSO) scintillators 3, 5 and 10 mm thick. The system resolution was measured and compared between the various end-point energies and scintillator thicknesses.^[2]
