Abstract
The target assembly contains a metal plate which has two end faces, a recess in one of these end faces, a target for generating X-rays when hit by high-energy electrons, and a cooling channel in the metal plate for directing a cooling medium therethrough. The target is arranged in the recess of the metal plate such that the recess is divided into two chambers. The cooling channel passes through these two chambers thereby exposing the target directly to the cooling medium when the latter flows through the cooling channel.
