An electron beam irradiation device includes an electron gun, a housing, and an electron beam emission window. A rod portion of the housing includes a first tubular member, a second tubular member, a cooling gas flow space, and a wall member. The window is provided at an end portion on a distal end side of the first tubular member. The second tubular member surrounds the first tubular member. The cooling gas flow space includes at least a cooling gas flow path provided between an outer wall surface of the first tubular member and an inner wall surface of the second tubular member. The wall member is provided so as to perform partition between an electron beam emission space and the cooling gas flow space. The wall member is provided with a cooling gas ejection hole. The hole has a flow path sectional area smaller than a flow path sectional area of the cooling gas flow path.

An injector may include a container having a wall with an interior surface and a seal assembly with an interior surface, the interior surfaces of the wall and the seal assembly defining a closed sterile reservoir filled with a drug product. The injector may also include a fluid delivery system comprising a clean, unsheathed, rigid container needle having a point disposed only partially through the seal assembly in a storage state, and disposed through the interior surface of the seal assembly into the sterile reservoir in a delivery state. Further, the injection may include an actuator that is adapted to move the container needle from the storage state to the delivery state.

An electron exit window foil for an electron beam emitter having an electron beam generator and operating in a corrosive environment. The electron exit window foil has a sandwich structure with an outer side arranged to face the corrosive environment and an inner side arranged to face the electron beam generator. The sandwich structure comprises, as seen from the outer side to the inner side, a protective layer, for protecting the sandwich structure from the corrosive environment, a supporting layer made of Ti, for providing structural support for the sandwich structure, and a thermally conductive layer made of Al, for conveying heat from the sandwich structure.
