초록
Beam energy is one of the most important parameters in assessing the performanceof an electron accelerator. Consequently, many methods to estimate the beam energy have beendeveloped. Among them, the measurement strategy employing the depth-dose distribution curveis widely utilized. In the meantime, even though, recently, the 10 kW electron accelerator installedin Advanced Radiation Technology Institute (ARTI) in South Korea had been experiencedsome repairs including the replacement of the Klystron and some components constituting theModulator of the irradiator, there had been no trial to evaluate current performance of thisaccelerator. Therefore, as a part of evaluating the performance of the electron irradiator, beamenergy level was estimated by exploiting the depth-dose distribution curves in accordance withInternational Standard ISO/ASTM 51649. From the obtained results, it was possible to realizethat there is a difference by about 1 MeV between the initially designed beam energy level andcurrent energy value.
