Linear Accelerator of All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Physics for Neutron Spectrometry

The electron linear accelerator intended for neutron spectrometry with a nominal energy of about 55 MeV at currents of 10 A in electron pulse repetition rate of 2400 Hz started in 1985 is described. The special features of linac construction, the measuring complex assembly, the results of spectrum measurements and neutron yield of uranium target are given. The possibilities of accelerator development for increasing the pulse current and pulse length shortening are considered.
