The simulations of fast electrons interaction with matter were performed by using of ERA code. The yield and angular distribution of bremsstrahlung and fluorescence K-{alpha} X-ray radiation calculated by PRIZMA code for experiments on interaction of ultra-short laser pulses with high-Z targets at intensities of 10{sup 15}-10{sup 18} W/cm{sup 2} are presented. Spherical targets with conical hollows and conical targets of high-Z matter are proposed for experiments with picosecond lasers to increase the brightness of hard X-ray source.
