Over the past decade, the use of electron accelerators for sterilization and disinfection has made considerable progress and the offer has greatly diversified. The challenges that gamma technology is facing has also raised considerable interest in E-Beam and X-Ray technology as a possible alternative to the use of radioisotopes.
However, commercial operation of electron accelerators faces...

As commercial and industrial applications of electron beam and x-ray irradiation have developed, new applications have emerged that require very high beam power to create the required radiation field. These new applications require dependable, efficient, high energy, high power electron accelerators.
Recent developments in Superconducting Radio-Frequency (SRF) technology can now enable...

Currently most $\gamma$ or high energy EB ionizing irradiation
processes for medical and pharmaceutical production are provided by
external services. Only a few applications rely on low energy
electron irradiation: e.g., syringe tub sterilization at high
throughput filling lines. But more complex and expensive logistics as
well as demands for flexibility in small customized production...

ELV accelerators are widely used for electron beam processing. The use of these machines enabled to develop the manufacture of a wide range wires, cables and heat-shrinking goods, films, bands and so one. All of them are of high security and reliability during operation as under standard and extreme operating conditions. ELV are DC electron accelerators with high power of electron beam. The...

Providing the world´s growing population with nutritious food is an enormous challenge, that solution starts very early in food production. Beside the known chemical seed dressing there is another way for killing pathogens. This environmental friendly, purely physical disinfection of seed, bases on the biocidal effect of accelerated electrons. Electrons are a versatile tool for numerous...
