ABSTRACT:
A bright, relatively inexpensive X-ray source (as compared to a synchrotron emitter) for scientific, technological, and medical purposes. A stack of foils of high density and moderate atomic number are bombarded with high-energy electrons of 25 to 500 MeV to produce a flux of transition X-rays of 2 keV or greater.
