Abstract

An x-ray device is for creation of high-energy x-ray radiation. In an embodiment, the x-ray device includes a linear accelerator. The linear accelerator, for creation of x-ray radiation, is embodied so as to create an electron beam directed onto a target, of which the kinetic energy per electron amounts to at least 1 MeV. In an embodiment, the x-ray device further includes a beam limiting device, arranged in the beam path of the electron beam between linear accelerator and the target, including an edge region surrounding a beam limiting device opening. A material thickness of the edge region, in a propagation direction of the accelerated electron beam emerging from the linear accelerator, amounting to less than 10% of the average reach of electrons of the created kinetic energy in the material of the edge region.
