The present invention includes a system, methods and apparatus for sterilization of an object (e.g., food products). The present invention takes advantage of the electron scatter that occurs when electron beam is applied onto a surface. The present invention is capable of treating irregular surfaces (e.g., carcasses, spherical/round surfaces) or any type of surface where complete penetration is not needed or desired. La présente invention concerne un système, des procédés et appareil pour la stérilisation d'un objet (par exemple des produits alimentaires). La présente invention tire profit de la diffusion d'électrons qui se produit lorsqu'un faisceau d'électrons est appliqué sur une surface. La présente invention est capable de traiter des surfaces irrégulières (par exemple des carcasses, des surfaces sphériques/rondes) ou tout type de surface où une pénétration complète n'est pas nécessaire ou souhaitée.
