envelope integrated with an anode target, a housing receiving at least
the vacuum envelope, and rotatably holding it, a circulation path
circulating a cooling medium in a state of closing to at least anode
target of the vacuum envelope, a cathode received and arranged in the
vacuum envelope, a cathode support member supporting the cathode, a
bearing mechanism and a vacuum sealing mechanism interposed between the
vacuum envelope, and the housing or a stationary member direct or
