Formation of Sub-Millimeter-Size Powerful X-Ray Sources in Low-Impedance Rod-Pinch Diodes

Аннотация

In the paper, experiments on the formation of a low-impedance diode and a focused electron beam as a result of detachment of radial wires, accelerated by the current of a high-current generator, from the rod anode have been described. In the experiments, along with studies of conditions for compact focusing of the electron beam and effective generation of hard x-rays, the shape of the tip of the anode rod is determined at which the x-ray source is point-sized when viewed in the radial direction.
