ABSTRACT:
A target assembly for an electron linear accelerator (LINAC), comprising a target for converting electron beams of different energies into x-ray beams. The target has a variable thickness which can be set to a predetermined value by adjustment means. In a preferred embodiment, the target is provided with a chamber defined by two parallel plates and a bellows connecting both plates. The chamber is filled with a liquid medium of a high atomic number, such as mercury. In operation the medium is pumped through the chamber, and cooled down in a heat exchanger.
