Abstract
Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology (KFTI) has designed and co nstructed a linear resonance electron linac (LREA) with an average bea m power up to 12 kW and beam energy of 8-10 MeV. The accelerator pilot test was made in September 1993. To manage operation of the accelerat or a control system has been developed, providing for beam current and energy monitoring, control over systems parameters and failure diagno stics. It provides cross-correlation signal analysis, accelerator guid e protection from beam loss and radiation hazards, modulator and klyst ron amplifier lockup protection against incorrect operation, current a djustment in the lattice power supplies, and control of RF-signal phas e-power characteristics in the injection unit.
