Abstract
A mobile irradiation device for providing either energetic electrons or short wavelength photons, i.e., gamma ray and/or x-rays has a photocathode, a laser for illuminating the photocathode and a radio-frequency electron gun for accelerating electrons emitted from the laser illuminated photocathode. A quadrupole magnet triple facilitates focusing of energetic electrons onto the target or the material to be irradiated.
