Abstract
X-ray tube () for high dose rates, a corresponding method for generating high dose rates with X-ray tubes () as well as a method for producing corresponding X-ray devices (), in which an anode () and a cathode () are disposed opposite each other in a vacuumized internal chamber (), electrons e− being accelerated to the anode () by means of impressible high voltage. The anode () is made of a layer or coating of a metal having a high atomic number, for conversion of the electrons (e) into X-ray radiation (γ) with cooling. The cathode () comprises a substrate substantially transparent for X-ray radiation (γ). In particular, the likewise substantially transparent for X-ray radiation (γ). In particular, the cathode () can close off the vacummized internal chamber () toward the outside.
