Teledyne Technologies 2

Teledyne e 2 v – RF Power v Radiotherapy v High-voltage switching and microwave sources for cancer treatment v Commercial Radar v Microwave sources and components for largevessel and airborne radar v Security & Science v High-voltage switching and microwave sources for cargo scanning and high-energy physics v Broadcast & Industrial v Inductive output and Gridded tubes for TV broadcast and industrial heating applications v Defence v Travelling-wave and high-power microwave sources for military applications 3

Teledyne e 2 v – RF Products 4

Te 2 v-STFC Collaboration – The Challenge Teledyne e 2 v: Recognised that access to a linear accelerator and radiation test facility would: v Enable them to speed up product development v Address more customer requests and issues STFC: Required a supported linear accelerator platform v Collaboration with other industrial users v Engagement with academic research 5

The Solution Provision of test facilities at Daresbury Laboratory by STFC to Te 2 v v Infrastructure of the Linac Test Facility v STFC staff expertise in commissioning and operating Linacs Support of Compact Linac by Te 2 v at STFC v Quality of performance v Continuity of operation The collaboration has ensured a mutually reliable platform over time 6

The Benefit For Teledyne e 2 v: v Assessing Impact of new Te 2 v products v Evaluating customer system designs v Improving performance to meet increasing global demands v Improving on product/system reliability to reduce downtime and service costs For STFC: v Supported platform for academic engagement v Performance platform for further industrial collaborations v Advancing research in medical and security Linacs sector v State of the art global partnerships through Te 2 v such as Accelerad 7

Academic Research Continued history of Te 2 v in funding academic research at universities and through STFC Some examples: (With Lancaster University, Cockcroft Institute, Queen Mary University London) v Stabilisation of magnetrons for use in International Linear Collider SC Cavities v Study of Multipactor Discharges in complex structures v High power high frequency CW Radial Inductive Output Tubes v Computer modelling of magnetrons and crossed field devices 8

Collaboration Future v Further bridge the gap between Industry, STFC and Academia v Workshops to enhance engineering skills in areas of mutual interest v Partnerships in strategic areas of personnel development v Continue to support Linac Test Facility at STFC v Continuous improvement in medical and security Linacs v Preserve diminishing knowledge in high power RF as people retire 9
