Abstract

It is shown that an X-ray source 0.5–2 µm in size for the spectral region above 3 keV can be implemented based on a compact pulse generator with an impedance of 0.13Ω using an X-pinch made of four molybdenum wires. The technique for determining the source sizes and the results of the experimental determination of the X-pinch emitting region sizes are presented. The parameters of the X-pinch consisting of wires of different diameters are optimized for this generator to fabricate an X-ray source of minimum sizes.
