Abstract: | We have studied the characteristics of an X-ray source based on a gas diode filled with air at atmospheric pressure. Driven
by a SLEP-150 pulser with a maximum voltage amplitude of ∼140 kV, a pulse full width at half maximum (FWHM) of ∼1 ns, and
a leading front width of ∼0.3 ns, a soft X-ray source produces subnanosecond pulses with an FWHM not exceeding 600 ps and
an exposure dose of ∼3 mR per pulse. It is shown that the main contribution to the measured exposure dose is due to X-ray
quanta with an effective energy of ∼7.5 keV. |
