Abstract :
AIRIX Flash X-ray Radiographic facility is based on a 4 MeV – 3,5 kA pulsed electron injector and a 16 MeV induction accelerator; it is scheduled to be commisionned in 1999. The accelerator will consist of 64 induction cells powered by 32 H. V. generators operated at 250 kV. The final 20 MeV electron beam will be focused on a target designed for X -ray conversion. At CESTA, PIVAIR is a testbed designed as a validation step of AIRIX up to 8 MeV. The injector, operating since March 94, has been connected with 8 accelerating cells, increasing electron beam energy to 5,8 MeV. Two kinds of induction cells have been successfully tested and beam diagnostics have been developed (time resolved spectrometer, emittancemeter, BPM, …). A Tickler experiment is planned from March to June 96 in order to study BBU instabilities. Then, the 16 cells PIVAIR accelerator will be completed for beam dynamic studies and focusing on a target for X-ray source characterization.
