Abstract

A device for transport of an electron beam from an accelerator to a product to be irradiated, comprised of a passive plasma channel for forming a low density plasma by ionizing gas molecules in a chamber under low pressure conditions. The device being adjustable in size such that the chamber formed by the device occupies a majority of the distance between the e-beam accelerator and the product to be irradiated.
