Propagation Characteristics of Narrow X-Ray Pulses

Abstract

The disturbance produced in a gaseous medium by the absorption of an intense, narrow pulse of x-rays is such that the absorption of later x-rays which follow the same path is greatly reduced. Various processes which affect this absorption reduction have been investigated and a numerical technique has been employed to obtain quantitative predictions of the range.
