Abstract
An irradiation apparatus comprising a fluid-tight enclosure in which are located a linear electron accelerator, a magnetron supplying a high frequency signal, means for injecting this high frequency signal into the accelerating structure, means for supplying voltage to the magnetron and the accelerator. A magnetic deflecting system can be associated with the linear accelerator for deflecting the accelerated electrons towards a target emitting X-rays. Cooling systems are provided inside the enclosure 1, in particular for cooling the magnetron.
