Flat energy distribution Laser Compton scattering (F-LCS) gamma-ray beam, which has a flat distribution in the energy spectrum and the spatial distribution with a small beam size, has been developed to study an isotope selective CT Imaging application at the beamline BL1U in UVSOR. We have successfully demonstrated a three-dimensional (3D) isotope-selective CT image by using a conventional LCS gamma-ray beam[1]. However, the conventional LCS beam with a small beam size whose energy spread is narrow can’t excite a few isotopes at the same time. Therefore, we proposed the F-LCS gamma-ray beam by using the Apple-II undulator installed in BL1U in UVSOR to excite a circular motion of the electron beam. An EGS5 simulation shows that a weak magnetic field (K=0.2) can generate an F-LCS beam. The demonstration experiments have been carried out in UVSOR and the spectra of generated LCS beam with different K-values of the undulator were measured. As a result, the measured spectra agreed with the EGS5 simulation. The principle of F-LCS generation and experimental results, including the effect on the stored electron beam, will be presented at the conference.

  The local radiation shielding is designed for the electron linear accelerator beam dump at the PBP-CMU Electron Linac Laboratory (PCELL) with the aim to control the annual ambient dose equivalent during the operation. The study of radiation generation and design of radiation shielding is conducted based on the Monte Carlo simulation toolkit GEANT4. The study results include an annual ambient dose equivalent map and design of local shielding for the first bam dump downstream the linac section. With this design, the leaking radiation outside the accelerator hall is completely blocked and the average annual ambient dose equivalent on the rooftop of the hall is within the IAEA safety limit for the supervised area. The shielding model will then be used as a guideline for the construction in the near future.
