Abstract

We have developed a practical portable high-energy X-ray source, which can generate high energy X-rays with energies greater than 100 keV enabling the taking of high-definition X-ray transmission images using an R6(AA) battery as a power source. This result is a consequence of the integration of the compact and energy-saving electron accelerator technologies of AIST and the carbon nanostructure technologies of private companies. In this paper, we discuss these elemental technologies and how to integrate them.
