Z-pinch plasma x-ray source using surface discharge preionization

摘要: A Z-pinch plasma X-ray source includes a chamber having an insulating wall and defining pinch region, anode cathode positioned at opposite ends of the first conductor edge in close proximity to or contacting inside surface second disposed around outside wall. discharge is produced on response application voltage conductors. The causes gas ionize form shell near produce current through axial direction azimuthal magnetic field region high energy electric pulse cathode. collapse central axis generate X-rays.
