TANUJA DIXIT

About

Tanuja Dixit completed M.Sc. in Physics from Mumbai University in 1997 and joined SAMEER for development of linear electron accelerator. She played crucial role in establishing the 6 MeV Linac technology for cancer therapy. She established the processing technology along with her team and the group has successfully made several linac structures. Her area of main focus is Electron Gun and Target design for Dual Mode, Dual Energy Linac. She also developed plunger type energy variation mechanism.

She took up advanced studies leading to Ph.D. at High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan in 2005 and was awarded Ph.D. in Physics for her work on “Digital All Ion Accelerator”. This novel acceleration scheme was proposed by the group at KEK and beam results were achieved using the induction cells developed at KEK.

At present, she is working towards design of 30 MeV Linear Electron Accelerator Technology for generation of 99mTc and other radio isotopes. Her area of focus is design of 60 keV electron gun, thermal system for the linac and convertor target.

Currently she is also working on Hadron therapy Accelerator which is fast cycling induction synchrotron, without injector and is capable of delivering any ions from proton to carbon and even heavier ions.
