1. An apparatus for the linear acceleration of electrons, comprising:
- an articulated structure for moving irradiation means that comprise an acceleration structure constituted by a plurality of cavities;
modulation means for generating, controlling, and transmitting a radio-frequency to said cavities of said acceleration structure; and
processing and control means adapted to control said apparatus, said modulation means being separate from said irradiation means, the connection occurring by virtue of waveguide means adapted to carry the radio-frequency to said acceleration structure.

Abstract
An apparatus for the linear acceleration of electrons, particularly for intraoperative radiation therapy, including:
an articulated structure for moving a radiating head that comprises an acceleration structure constituted by a plurality of cavities;
a modulator for generating, controlling, and transmitting a radio-frequency to the cavities of the acceleration structure; and
processing and control devices adapted to control the apparatus; the modulator is separate from the radiating head and the connection occurs by virtue of waveguide means adapted to carry the radio-frequency to the acceleration structure.
