Development of a sub-nanosecond rep-rate pulse hard X-ray generator

A rep-rate fast pulse hard X-ray generator is developed. The specialties in principle and structure is described, and the experiment parameters of running voltage, current and X-ray radiation field are measured and analyzed. The stability of the source is investigated. The results show that the generator has flexible structure and running mode and can produce a medium intense rep-rate nanosecond or sub-nanosecond pulse hard X-ray radiation field, whose parameters of upper limit of energy, spectrum, intensity, pulse width, etc, are on-line controlled.
