DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH PERFORMANCE COLD CATHODE FLASH X-RAY TUBES,

Abstract

The work covered by this report was directed toward the development of a low-cost, highperformance, expendable, single-shot X-ray tube. The objectives for the tube development were: (a) a tube type that could economically be used as a single-shot device, (b) a tube that could be usable either on the three-channel pulse transformer system or with the modified Femcor surge pulser, and (c) a tube that would meet the high performance and reliability specifications that are applicable to the multiple-pulse thermal-field (TF) emission and vacuum arc types.
