<title>Monochromatization of high-current nanosecond pulse source of x-ray bremsstrahlung</title>

Abstract

The bremsstrahlung spectrum of the nanosecond electron accelerator on the basis of the vacuum diode supplied by the high-voltage nanosecond generator SINUS -150 with the coaxial forming line combined with the transformer has been monochromatized by the tungsten crystal under the Bragg -geometry ( B = 45 0 ). The dose field map has been taken by the dosimeter on the basis of the diamond detector in the median acceleration plane. The bremsstrahlung radiation beam divergence has left 62°. It has been shown that the maximum dose is 16 cGrey/s at the distance of 10 cm from the collector, then it falls down proportionally to the square of distance to the level less than 0.1 cGrey/s at the distance of 1 m.The X-Ray spectrum has been measured by the silicon semi-conductor X-ray spectrometer with energy resolution 280 eV for 5.9 keV. It has been shown that the two maximum at the spectrum corresponds the second and third orders of diffraction on (111) planes of a tungsten crystal.
