Abstract
An x-ray emitting diode of impedance 2.3 Ω with a knife-edge cathode energized by a 90 kV, 30 J, solid dielectric Blumlein driver of pulse length 10 ns is studied. X-ray emission from titanium, copper, molybdenum, tin, tantalum, and lead anodes was investigated. The radiation yield from titanium and copper is low. Molybdenum and tin emit a significant part as Kα line radiation, whereas the emission with tantalum and lead anode is essentially continuum radiation. The ratio of line to continuum with molybdenum target is estimated 17%±10%.
