ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing the amount of shielding used in radiation sources, as well as, an improved radiation source (e.g., an x-ray producing device), are provided. The inventive method involves placement of a radiation producing target at the end of a vacuum drift tube and closer to and substantially in the center of a shield for blocking radiation emitted from the radiation producing target.
