Abstract
Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) of a compact performance is proposed as a powerful X-ray source for various applications. The general property of DPF X-ray pulse is its short duration (t approximately 10 ns). DPF X-ray spectrum reached from zero to a few hundred kilo electron volts. Hard X-ray radiation (E equals 20 ... 100 keV) generated by the DPF device with energy storage about 3 kJ makes it possible to have an X-ray photo of any fast movable object for example rotating car wheel tire. A pulse hard X-ray radiation also can be used in the dynamic flaw detection. The combination of the pulse, energy, and spectral parameters of a DPF hard X-ray radiation allow to consider DPF as a device free from a competition for mentioned applications. A DPF soft X-ray emission (9 ... 14 Angstrom) can be used for X-ray lithography. This DPF application as well as mentioned above are tested experimentally with a success. Besides we have a plan to apply a DPF soft X-ray radiation for the diagnosis of a fast hot dense plasma process by means of radiography of another DPF during its action.
