The design concept of a bending magnet to be installed in the KSTAR NBI system is presented. It is the function of a bending magnet that removes unconverted ions from the main beam stream and produces an 8 MW, 120 keV deuterium neutral beam. In order to determine the proper size and shape of the bending magnet, a parametric study on the B-field pattern was carried out by changing the dimensions of the pole face model. In addition, the detailed trajectories of the dominant ion species produced in the beam line were calculated. The electrical and cooling parameters of the coil assembly were also estimated.

Based on the energy method considering the second order effects, the natural frequencies of externally prestressed simply supported beam and the compression softening effect of external prestress force were analyzed. It is concluded that the compression softening effect depends on the loss of external tendon eccentricity. As the number of deviators increases from zero to a large number, the compression softening effect of external prestress force decreases from the effect of axial compression to almost zero, which is consistent with the conclusion mathematically rigorously proven. The frequencies calculated by the energy method conform well to the frequencies by FEM which can simulate the frictionless slide between the external tendon and deviator, the accuracy of the energy method is validated. The calculation results show that the compression softening effect of external prestress force is negligible for the beam with 2 or more deviators due to slight loss of external tendon eccentricity. As the eccentricity and area of tendon increase, the first natural frequency of the simply supported beams noticeably increases, however the effect of the external tendon on other frequencies is negligible.

A low energy large aperture(LELA) pulsed electron beam generator of a cold cathode type has been developed for environmental applications, for example, waste water cleaning, flue gas cleaning, and pasteurization etc. The operational principle is based on the emission of secondary electrons from cold cathode when ions in the plasma hit the cathode, which are accelerated toward exit window by the gradient of an electric potential. We have fabricated the LELA electron beam generator with the peak energy of 200keV and beam diameter of 200mm and obtained the large aperture electron beam in air. The electron beam current density has been investigated as a function of glow discharge current, accelerating voltage and radial distribution in front of the exit window foil. The plasma density and electron temperature have been measured in order to confirm the relation with the electron beam current density. We are going to upgrade the LELA electron beam generator in the electron energy, electron beam current and stability of operation for various applications.

This study describes the electron beam lithography pattern fabrication using the proximity effect correction. When electron beam exposes into electron beam resist, the beam tends to spread inside the substance (forward scattering). And the electron beam reflected from substrate spreads again (back scattering). These two effects influence to distribution of the energy and give rise to a proximity effect while a small pattern is generated. In this article, an electron energy distribution is modeled using Gaussian shaped beam distribution and those parameters in the model are computed to solidify the model. The proximity effect is analyzed through simulations and appropriate corrections to reducing the proximity effect are suggested. It is found that the proximate effect can be reduced by adopting schemes of dose adjustment, and the optimal dose is determined through simulations. The proposed corrected proximity effect correction is proved by experiments.

Experimental and numerical studies of a newly developed Reduced Beam Section (RBS) connection, called Tubular Web RBS connection (TW-RBS) have been recently conducted. This paper presents experimental and numerical results of extending the plastic hinge length on the beam flange to increase energy dissipation of a proposed version of the TW-RBS connection with two pipes, (TW-RBS(II)), made by replacing a part of flat web with two steel tubular web at the desirable location of the beam plastic hinge. Two deep-beam specimens with two pipes are prepared and tested under cyclic loads. Obtained results reveal that the TW-RBS(II) like its type I, increases story drift capacity up to 6% in deep beam much more than that stipulated by the current seismic codes. Based on test results, the proposed TW-RBS(II) helps to dissipate imposed energy up to 30% more than that of the TW-RBS(I) specimens at the same story drift and also reduces demands at the beam-to-column connection up to 30% by increasing plastic hinge length on the beam flange. The TW-RBS(II) specimens are finally simulated using finite element method showing good agreement with experimental results.

Dual energy cone-beam CT can distinguish two materials with different atomic compositions. The principle of dual energy cone-beam CT based on modulation layer is that higher energy spectrum can be acquired at blocked x-ray window. To evaluate the possibility of modulation layer based dual energy cone-beam CT, we analyzed x-ray spectrum for various thicknesses of modulation layers by Monte Carlo simulation. To compare with the results of simulation, the experiment was performed on prototype cone-beam CT for 50~100 kVp with CdTe XR-100T detector. As the result of comparing, the mean energy of energy spectrum for 80 kVp are well matched with that of simulation. The mean energy of energy spectrum for 80 and 120 kVp were increased as 1.67 and 1.52 times by 2.0 mm modulation layer, respectively. We realized that the virtual dual energy x-ray source can be generated by modulation layer.

In this paper, crosslinked polyethylene (PE) separators for lithium secondary batteries were prepared by an electron beam irradiation under various beam currents and dose rates. The crosslinking degree increased up to maximum 71% with an increasing absorption dose and with a decreasing beam current. The PE separators irradiated at lower beam currents showed better thermal shrinkage (51%) and mechanical properties than the original PE separator and PE separators irradiated at higher beam current. The ionic conductivity ($1.01{\times}10^{-3}\;S/cm$) and electrolyte uptake (275%) of the crosslinked PE separators were comparable to the original PE separator.

The purpose of this research is to detect whether agricultural products were electron beam irradiated or non-irradiated by chemical methods according to increase of storage period. The three fat-rich samples including soybean, walnut, and sesame were chosen as agricultural products, and then were irradiated with doses of 1~10 kGy by using 10 MeV electron beam facility. At the result, 8-heptadecene and 1,7-hexadecadiene, which are indicators of electron beam-irradiation in chemical methods by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC/MS) method, were detected in all three samples. The levels of two irradiation indicators were increased by electron beam-irradiation in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, two irradiation indicators also were detected in all samples in 6 and 12 months after irradiation, though levels of those were decreased in a time-dependent manner. These results mean that the quantification of 8-heptadecene and 1,7-hexadecadiene could determine whether electron beam were irradiated or non-irradiated until 12 month after irradiation in 3 fat-rich agricultural products including soybean, walnut, and sesame.
