ABSTRACT:
An X-ray source for producing high intensity X-rays. The X-ray source includes a vessel filled with an inert gas. An energizing mechanism such as a magnetic coil causes the gas to enter a pinch, plasma state which produces high intensity X-rays. The vessel includes a window through which the X-rays are radiated. In a second embodiment, a laser or electron beam bombards a crystal of selected material to produce the X-rays. The material, when gasified, does not interfere with radiation of the X-rays.
