Abstract

Principles of the development of high-power pulsed X-ray sources based on explosive emission from carbon nanoclusters are stated. Designs and main parameters of the developed X-ray tubes ( the electron flow exciting the X-ray radiation is 100−500 А, the voltage is 20−150 kV, the pulse length is 10−20 ns, and the nanosecond pulse repetition rate is 1−103 Hz) are reported.
