Abstract
An x-ray tube can have a stable electron beam with resulting stable x-ray beam, reduced arcing failure of the x-ray tube, and reduced shielding mass. The x-ray tube can include a cathode and an anode electrically insulated from each other by a first enclosure and a second enclosure. A blocking disc can be located at or near a junction of the first enclosure and the second enclosure. A field-shaping cup can extend into a hollow region of the second enclosure. A low-Z-layer can be located on a side of the blocking disc that faces the electron emitter.
