- Abstract
- Experimental studies of 4-wire X-pinches on the upgraded KING generator, consisting of four low- inductance capacitors, with a current maximum of 160–250 kA, current rise time of 150–300 ns at a charging voltage of 45 kV are presented. The possibility of using the generator as a source of soft X-ray radiation using standard X-pinches made of Al, Cu or Mo wires with a diameter of 25 μm is demonstrated. It is shown that the modernization led to an increase in inductance but did not deteriorate the X-pinch parameters. This resulted in the possibility of using this generator to power standard X-pinches and their use as radiation sources for point projection radiography with spatial resolution of about 13-23 mm.
