1. A device for containing a liquid irradiation target material, the device comprising:
a housing comprising a chamber, the housing having a first surface that is flat, an inlet aperture, an outlet aperture, and a lip having a second surface that is flat and recessed from the first surface;
the chamber having a flat base perpendicular to a central axis of the chamber and a wall having a first portion extending from the base, the first portion being concave with respect to the central axis and having a first radius of curvature, and a second portion extending from the first portion, the second portion being convex with respect to the central axis and having a second radius of curvature, wherein the second radius of curvature is less than the first radius of curvature;
a heat sink comprising a plurality of fins disposed at least partially around the chamber.
