The technology
Particle physics, industrialized.
BeamX brings to industry decades of Italian research on linear particle accelerators — the same physics that powers the world's leading research facilities, now compact, reliable and ready for the factory floor.
Precision manufacturing
30+ years of high-precision mechanical machining and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) processes for accelerating cavities.
RF & power integration
Klystron and magnetron sources, modulators and industrial power supplies sourced from qualified European partners and integrated end-to-end with our accelerating structures.
Industrialization & quality
Scientific know-how transformed into certified, scalable, field-supportable industrial products.
Predictive monitoring
Native sensor integration and diagnostic algorithms — uptime up, service costs down. Critical for defense and security customers.
Customer-side know-how
Deep industrial X-ray and NDT market expertise — we speak the language of integrators and end-users and understand European certification pathways.
Our LINACs
A family of compact LINACs.
A family of compact LINACs.
And the freedom to build yours.
Four standard models cover most industrial applications. When they don't, we engineer the LINAC you need — from electromagnetic simulation to the final accelerating cavity, everything happens in-house.

How it works
Inside a BeamX LINAC.
Watch how a compact accelerating structure turns electrons into a high-energy X-ray beam — and how that beam reveals what no other inspection technology can see.
Applications
Five strategic sectors.

Why BeamX
An Italian partner.
An Italian partner.
Not a vendor.
Buying an industrial accelerator is the start of a 10–20 year relationship. We make sure that relationship works for you — agile, dynamic and flexible, from the very first application call to a service request ten years from now.
01
We start before the order
Our application engineers help you choose the right energy, focal spot and configuration for your inspection challenge. We don't sell catalog units — we co-design the right answer for the job.
02
We stay through installation
Commissioning, integration with your inspection line, operator training. A small, senior team that follows your project end-to-end — no hand-offs, no lost context.
03
We stay after — in Europe
Service technicians and spare parts based in Europe. Fast response, lower cost, no waiting weeks for parts to ship across the world. Native predictive monitoring keeps uptime high.
About BeamX
Italian accelerator science.
Italian accelerator science.
European industrial reach.
BeamX is the first spin-off of INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) dedicated to designing and manufacturing linear accelerators for industrial applications. Founded in 2023 and based in Rome, we bring to industry the world-class expertise built over decades inside one of Europe's leading centres of excellence in particle accelerator science.
Italy has a long and distinguished tradition in accelerator physics — from the pioneering experiments at the Frascati laboratories in the 1950s to today's contributions at CERN and major international research facilities. BeamX channels this unique national heritage into certified, field-deployable industrial systems: compact LINACs that generate high-energy X-rays for NDT, security and inspection markets.
Our LuminaX-2 (2 MeV) will be presented at ECNDT Verona 2026. The higher-energy models follow the same validated platform. We are agile, dynamic and flexible by design — small enough to stay close to every customer, deep enough to engineer the LINAC that's right for their application.

Our origin
The first INFN spin-off
The first INFN spin-off
for industrial LINACs.
The INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) is Italy's national institute for nuclear and particle physics, and one of the world's leading centres for accelerator science. Its Frascati laboratories — active since 1954 — have contributed to breakthrough discoveries and to the design of accelerators operating at CERN, UCLA, PSI, FERMI and research facilities across four continents.
BeamX was born inside this ecosystem through the INFN Tech Transfer programme, which supports the transition of scientific know-how into commercial applications. We are the first INFN spin-off entirely focused on building compact linear accelerators for industry — making the technology of major research labs available to manufacturers, integrators and end-users worldwide.
