DESIGN AND SPECTRAL DETERMINATION OF A LOW-ENERGY, FLASH X-RAY DEVICE.
Abstract
A study of the production, effect on matter, and detection of X rays is presented. This is followed by the discussion of a device to produce low-energy, flash X rays and of a method of determining the spectral output. The first four sections are presented to afford the reader a knowledge of the physics as well as of the practical aspects of the production and detection of X rays. This presentation is meant to be concise rather than complete, to afford the reader a 'quick look' at the subject matter. Following is presented design information on a 60-kilovolt, flash X-ray device using a novel triode X-ray tube producing radiation pulses as short as 30 nanoseconds. Finally, the mathematics and application of the absorption method of X-ray spectral determination are presented. (Author)
