Abstract

An x-ray source driven by a 10-pps Nd-YAG laser is described which, because of its high peak power and automatic synchronization to the laser, is especially suited for the study of x-ray optical interactions. The device is of very simple construction, is based upon a 1-m-long 3-Ω coaxial transmission line charged to 40 kV, and delivers 20-ns wide pulses at peak currents of ∼3 kA. A simple analysis which is in good agreement with experiment predicts that a 1-Ω line charged to 60 kV should yield peak currents of ∼15 kA.
