An X-ray emission device having a microwave source and a resonant chamber. The resonant chamber contains a hermedically sealed volume of gas, a magnetic structure defining a geometrical electron-confinement zone in which electrons move at high speed. At least one target is placed in an electron path in order to emit X-rays. Each target is offset with respect to a mid-region of the geometrical conbinement zone.

X-ray source and use in radiography

Intense soft X-ray source having an enclosure filled with gas and having two electrodes connected to a high voltage source, one of the electrodes having an opening. A device is provided for producing a photoionizing radiation directed through the opening. The radiation traversing the gas in the direction of the other electrode and during its passage producing a plasma microchannel, an electrical discharge supplied by the source then occurring in the microchannel, wherein the device for producing the photoionizing radiation is an auxiliary soft X-ray source.

Intense X-ray source using a plasma microchannel

Intense soft X-ray source comprising a means for producing a cylindrical plasma jet between a cathode and an anode, connected to a pulsed high voltage generator, wherein the means for producing the plasma jet comprises

Soft X-ray source with cylindrical plasma compression
