Embodiments of systems, devices, and methods relate to exclusion of ion beam paths on the target surface to optimize neutron beam performance. A particle beam is directed along an axis so that the particle beam is incident on a target positioned on the particle beam axis. The target has a scannable surface extending over an area substantially orthogonal to the axis. The particle beam is scanned across the scannable surface of the target along a first path having a first flux. The particle beam, having a second flux, is scanned across the scannable surface of the target along a second path that is within an exclusion area of the target.

Embodiments are provided relating to the exchange of devices or assemblies holding targets used in a beam system. With these embodiments a used target can be rapidly and safely replaced with a new target to permit continued operation in a clinical or other environment. Also provided are embodiments of valves having relatively lower profiles that facilitate engagement and disengagement of beamline sections for access to the target device or assembly. All or a portion of the valve can be part of the target assembly. Also provided are embodiments of storage containers for storing a volatile object, such as an object comprising a composition sensitive to atmospheric air and/or an object that is radioactive. The storage container can include a two-part shell case assembly configured for housing a volatile object between the two parts, which engage one another to form an air-tight seal therebetween.
