Compact Bremsstrahlung Diode Development on HERMES-III
Testing of a compact Bremsstrahlung diode at the High Energy Radiation Megavolt Electron Source III (HERMES-III) was performed at Sandia National Laboratories in November, 2023. The compact diode described here is the first prototype diode in a campaign to optimize a Bremsstrahlung diode in terms of size and dose production. The goal was to test the diode at 13MV, and the experiment realized between 10-12MV at the diode. Modeling and simulation of this geometry was performed after the test, shedding insight into several phenomena seen by experimental diagnostics. Modifications to the diode and experiment are proposed for future experiments to help explain the phenomena and approach a better final design.
