On prospects of powerful SXR pulse generation on “Gamma 4” facility

Abstract

RFNC-VNIIEF is creating a multi-module multi-terawatt electro-physical facility “Gamma”, intended for research in the field of radiation physics. Up to now RFNC-VNIIEF created the first module of the facility – a high-current pulsed electron accelerator “Gamma-1”, having the following parameters: boundary energy of the electrons of ≤ 2.0 MeV, diode current of 0.75 MA, maximum electric power of 1.5 TW. Creation of the 4-module variant of the facility (Gamma-4) is the next stage of the work. This paper presents calculation research of expected characteristics of soft x-ray radiation output pulse at “Gamma-4” facility operation into a common load (Z-pinch).
