abstract = {Background:Microbeam and x-ray FLASH radiation therapy are
innovativeconcepts that promise reduced normal tissue
toxicity in radiation oncology withoutcompromising tumor
control. However, currently only large
third-generationsynchrotrons deliver acceptable x-ray beam
qualities and there is a need forcompact, hospital-based
radiation sources to facilitate clinical translation ofthese
novel treatment strategies.Purpose: We are currently setting
up the first prototype of a line-focus x-raytube (LFxT), a
promising technology that may deliver ultra-high dose
rates(UHDRs) of more than 100 Gy/s from a table-top source.
The operation of thesource in the heat capacity limit allows
very high dose rates with micrometersizedfocal spot
widths.Here,we investigate concepts of effective heat
managementfor the LFxT, a prerequisite for the performance
of the source.Methods: For different focal spot widths, we
investigated the temperatureincrease numerically with Monte
Carlo simulations and finite element analysis(FEA).We
benchmarked the temperature and thermal stresses at the
focal spotagainst a commercial x-ray tube with similar power
characteristics.We assessedthermal loads at the vacuum
chamber housing caused by scattering electrons inMonte Carlo
simulations and FEA. Further,we discuss active cooling
strategiesand present a design of the rotating target.},
