Abstract
Some embodiments include an accelerator waveguide to generate an accelerated radiation beam, and a housing to house to accelerator waveguide. The housing may include an interface to couple the housing to and to decouple the housing from a movable support. Some aspects include coupling a first interface of a housing to a first interface of a movable support, and uncoupling the first interface of the housing from the first interface of the movable support, wherein the housing includes an accelerator waveguide to generate an accelerated radiation beam.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- an accelerator waveguide to generate an accelerated radiation beam;
- and
- a housing to house to accelerator waveguide, the housing comprising an interface to couple the housing to and to decouple the housing from a movable support.
An apparatus comprising:
- a movable support comprising an interface to selectively receive and decouple a housing,
- wherein the interface is to provide signals to control an electron gun to the housing.
A method comprising:
- coupling a first interface of a housing to a first interface of a movable support, the housing comprising an accelerator waveguide to generate an accelerated radiation beam;
- and
- uncoupling the first interface of the housing from the first interface of the movable support.
