TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Spectrometer Purposed for Accelerator Testing and Characterization (SPATC)

Scope

Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory developed the Spectrometer Purposed for Accelerator Testing and Characterization (SPATC) � a portable, easy-to-use device that allows the safe measurement of the power and energy of electron beams from particle accelerators, helping labs test and fine-tune equipment more efficiently. How it Works: SPATC uses a smart, compact design to deliver high-precision beam diagnostics conveniently. At its core, SPATC employs two precisely controlled aluminum wedges that slide together to vary thickness, allowing engineers to analyze how an electron beam�s energy interacts with the material. As the beam passes through these layers, sensors record how much energy is absorbed versus transmitted, and a graphite block captures the remaining beam for accurate current readings. Controlled remotely via computer, SPATC provides real-time data on beam energy and…
