Abstract

We propose the development and manufacturing two prototypes of the Photon Shutter device to be used in the new particle accelerator at LNLS, since they are not available and must be designed in a customized way. The design of the equipment will be developed in CAD / CAE environment and subjected to radiation, thermal and stress analyses. Once manufactured, the prototypes will be integrated and tested by Equatorial. (AU)
