X-RAY RADIATION SOURCE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: X-ray devices. SUBSTANCE: device has powerful pulse generator 1 of electronic beam 2. Target is designed as carbon base 4 covered with metal or carbide layer 3, which is applied on side of electronic beam generator. Metal layer maybe applied as powder mixed with carbon in equal volume. Metal layer may be protected on side of beam generator with carbon cover 5. In this target metal layer serves as converter of beam power to radiation caused by stopping. Carbon base which is highly resistant to temperature impacts carries mechanical stress. Carbon cover 5 protects metal layer from sputter. Addition of carbon in metal layer protects from fusion of metal. Thickness of carbon cover conforms to condition of beam transmission. Thickness of base conforms to condition of transparency of X-ray radiation. EFFECT: increased service life. 2 cl, 2 dwg
