Systems capable of generating X-rays with specific
features such as short pulse duration, small source
size, high radiation intensity and a wide range in
photon energy, are widely used for non-destructive
testing, radiography of dynamic biological objects,
dynamical studies of biomedical systems, testing the
performance of electronic devices in the high-energy
density field of X-rays, sterilization of food and
transmutation of organic material. This book provides
systematic and comprehensive investigation of the
X-ray emission from the plasma focus device and
correlates the emission parameters with the operating
conditions to obtain high energy/ intensity photons.
The information on the X-ray emission characteristics
presented in this book indicates that the plasma
focus meets the requirements for the abovementioned
applications. The findings are extremely important
not only for academic studies, but can also serve as
a foundation for future applications of X-rays
emitted by dense plasma focus devices.
