ADVANCED X-RAY TUBE DEVELOPMENT.
Abstract
The production of X-rays by electron bombardment of high-Z targets is discussed in terms of intensity, angular dependence, spectrum and number of X-ray sources for electron energies up to 10 MeV. Problems associated with the design of an X-ray tube capable of operating at a voltage of 6 MeV, current of 100,000 A, and pulse duration of 3 x 10 to the -8th power sec are considered in detail. A conical insulator tube design and ancillary hardware to operate the tube are discussed in terms of theory, and performance of the system. (Author)
