DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLED WELL GENERATION OF IONISING RADIATION WITHOUT USE OF RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES OF CHEMICAL ELEMENTS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01V5/12 

FIELD: physics, nuclear.

SUBSTANCE: use: for controlled well generation of ionising radiation without use of radioactive isotopes of chemical elements. The substance of the invention consists in the fact that a device for controlled well generation of ionising radiation (12) includes at least a thermoelectronic emitter (11), arranged in the first terminal part (7a) of an electrically isolated vacuum container (9), and a lepton target (6), arranged in the second terminal part (7b) of the electrically isolated vacuum container (9). The thermoelectronic emitter (11) is connected to a row of serially connected elements of increase of negative electric potential (14₁, 14₂, 14₃, 14₄), besides, each of the specified elements of increase of electric potential (14₁, 14₂, 14₃, 14₄) is made as capable of increasing the applied DC potential (δV₀, δV₁, δV₁₊₂, … δV₁₊₂₊₃) by conversion of applied voltage of excitation (V_AC) and transfer of increased negative electric DC potential (δV₁, δV₁₊₂, …, δV_1+2+3+4), and also excitation voltage (V_AC) to the next cell of the row of serially connected elements (14₁, 14₂, 14₃, 14₄, 5), and ionising radiation (12) exceeds 200 keV, at the same time the main part of spectral distribution is within Compton range of wave lengths.

EFFECT: provision of the possibility to emit radiation of high energy in the form of X-ray and gamma radiation in a well shaft without use of highly radioactive isotopes of chemical elements.
