Highly Efficient Sources of Wideband and Monochromatic X and Gamma Rays

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

New physical configurations of x- and gamma-ray sources, in which photons are emitted by circulating electrons in multiple passage through a thin target, are discussed. As examples, sources of bremsstrahlung with an additional acceleration of radiating electrons and sources of monochromatic radiation in a crystalline target are examined. Computer modeling confirms the high efficiency of these configurations that allow the hard photon yield to be significantly increased while retaining the compact dimensions of the facility. This is especially important in the design of various autonomous sources.
