Abstract
Some embodiments include a system, comprising: an electron source configured to generate an electron beam along an axis; and a transmission target configured to receive the electron beam, the transmission target, comprising a target material having a surface disposed to receive the electron beam; wherein a majority of the surface is disposed at an angle relative to the axis different from 89 to 91 degrees.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an electron source configured to generate an electron beam along an axis;
- and
- a transmission target configured to receive the electron beam, the transmission target, comprising a target material having a surface disposed to receive the electron beam;
- wherein a majority of the surface is disposed at an angle relative to the axis different from 89 to 91 degrees.
1 more element
A transmission target, comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a target material disposed on the base and including a major surface disposed at an angle relative to the base that is different from 89 to 91 degrees;
- wherein the base and target material are configured to convert incident electrons from a high-power electron beam aligned with an axis into radiation where a majority of the radiation is emitted substantially along the axis.
1 more element
A transmission target, comprising:
- means for converting an electron beam into radiation;
- and
- means for supporting the means for converting at an angle relative to the electron beam that is different from 89 to 91 degrees.
