ABSTRACT:
An ionizable material is ejected in the shape of a cylindrical column from a cathode-nozzle toward an anode and subjected to a very short, high voltage pulse of electrical current having sufficient magnitude to create a high magnetic field which implodes the cylindrical column of ionizable material to a very high density plasma that emits long wave length x-rays. Accurate and reliably reproduced x-ray bursts are provided through coupling of the cathode and anode to the high voltage pulse generator without substantially degrading the pulse. The conductors between the pulse generator and the cathode and anode are of a configuration whereby a magnetic field is used to prevent the electron losses by tapering the spacing between feed conductors and shaping the feed conductors so that space-charge flow is retrapped and made usable.
