Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention concerns a system for converting an electron beam into a photon beam comprising,* an electron accelerator (1) configured for generating an electron beam (10) of accelerated electrons along an irradiation axis (Z),* a scanning unit (2)* a focusing unit (3) for forming a focused beam (10f) converging towards a first focusing point (Fx) located on the irradiation axis (Z),* a converting unit (4) located between the focusing unit (3) and the first focusing point (Fx), and comprising one or more bremsstrahlung converters (4.1-4.n), configured for converting the focused beam (10f) into a photon beam (11x),* a target holder (5h) configured for holding a target (5),Characterized in that, the one or more bremsstrahlung converters (4.1-4.n) are curved such that the focused beam (10f) intersects each of the one or more bremsstrahlung converters (4.1-4.n) with an intersecting angle (α) comprised between 65° and 115° at all points, preferably between 75° and 105° at all points.
