CASCADED SOFT-BREMSSTRAHLUNG GENERATOR Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: producing high-power bremsstrahlung pulses with high proportion of quanta in spectral range of X-rays. SUBSTANCE: generator has cathode electrode and anode target in the form of disk with three-layer intermediate electrodes coaxially arranged and equally spaced inbetween. Inner surface of cathode electrode electrically connected to generator case mounts ring plate whose inner and outer diameters equal those of conducting layer of its closest electrode facing the cathode. Geometric dimensions of each intermediate electrode layers are chosen according to calculation dependence. Quantum energy in spectral range is below 100 keV. EFFECT: increased yield of soft bremsstrahlung and its proportion in full yield at high fluency values. 3 dwg
