Hard X-Ray Radiation from a Z-Pinch with a Divergent Gas-Puff

Abstract

An experiment on a new type of z-pinch with divergent gas-puff was conducted for the realization of a point radiation source with high efficiency. X-ray radiation of energy 150 - 200 keV that far exceeded the power-supply voltage was observed. The x-rays were radiated from the center of the anode surface, and the point radiation source was achieved.
