Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023022949A1] Presented systems and methods facilitate efficient and effective generation and delivery of radiation. In one embodiment, an accelerator system 200B includes a particle source 211, an acceleration portion 215, a high intensity target 217, and a target location control component 250. The particle source is configured to generate charged particles. The acceleration portion is configured to accelerate the charged particles. The high intensity target is configured to generate Bremsstrahlung radiation in response to impact by the charged particles. The target location control component configured to change the location of charged particle impacts on the high intensity target. In one exemplary implementation the change of location of charged particle impact is based on thermal diffusion and said location of charged particle impacts is moved at a rate greater than a rate of diffusion of detrimental heat impacts on the high intensity target.
