EE technical review. Special issue: flash x-ray accelerator
Improvements to the pulsed power system of FXR made during the past year have resulted in much better reliability and repeatability. At a current level of 2.2 kA on target, the machine produces a radiation dose of 480 R at 1 m, with a spot size of 3 to 5 mm and with the dose repeatable within +- 10%. With this new capability, researchers have already begun to improve their understanding of material behavior at high pressure and densities, working in a heretofore inaccesible regime of radiographic penetration and resolution.
