Abstract
An irradiating device has an electronic accelerator, an actuating and monitoring device, means for expanding and homogenizing the electronic ray with respect to electron density and a diaphragm for side limiting the electronic beam. The invention is particularly characterized by the provision of a measuring device containing several radiation detectors connected to the actuating and monitoring device for increasing the operational safety of the irradiating device and located in the electronic beam in the ray direction behind the means for expanding and homogenizing the electronic beam. At least the first of these radiation detectors is located in the angular space range of the unscattered electronic ray.
Claims9
An irradiating device, comprising an electronic accelerator, an actuating and monitoring device, means for widening the electron beam and homogenizing the electron density thereof, a collimator adjacent said means for laterally limiting the electron beam, a measuring device positioned in the beam direction behind said means and connected with said actuating and monitoring device, said measuring device comprising a plurality of radiation detector means for detecting and indicating an insufficient widening and homogenization of the electron beam to thereby increase the operational safety of the irradiating device, one of said radiation detector means being disposed within the angular space range of the unscattered electron beam for measuring the electron beam solely within said range.
