Abstract

The effect of partial “trapping” of X-ray quanta with energies less than or on the order of 10 keV by the interelectrode polydisperse medium of a nanosecond vacuum discharge (NVD) with a virtual cathode, which is sometimes accompanied by high-intensity bursts of X-ray radiation, is presented and discussed. A model of diffusion and release of X-rays in an NVD based on the solution of the equation for the flux of quanta in a scattering and absorbing interelectrode medium is proposed. The results of the presented model are compared with the scheme of a stochastic laser proposed by V.S. Letokhov.
