Ionizing radiation generator

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5117723
a description is given of an ionizing radiation generator comprising: an ionizing radiation emitter including a resonance transformer and an accelerating tube; a field winding and a step-up winding, having a low-voltage and high-voltage ends, of said resonance transforemr, said field winding of said resonance transformer being arranged near said low-voltage end of said step-up winding; an electrically conducting housing of said resonance transformer, electrically associated with said low-voltage end of said step-up winding; a high-frequency oscillator electrically associated with said field winding; a high-voltage electrode of said accelerating tube, connected to said high-voltage end of said step-up winding of said resonance transformer; a tubular insulator of said accelerating tube, secured in said electrically conducting housing of said resonance transformer, said high-voltage electrode being attached to one end thereof; an inner space of said tubular insulator, accommodating said step-up winding of said resonance transformer; an evacuated inner space of said accelerating tube, confined between said electrically conducting housing of said resonance transformer and said tubular insulator; a low-voltage electrode of said accelerating tube, arranged in said electrically conducting housing of said resonance transformer and electrically associated with said housing; a source of charge particles of said accelerating tube, arranged in said evacuated space and electrically associated with one of said electrodes; a coolant supplied into said inner space of said tubular insulator, to said step-up winding of said resonance transformer and to said high-voltage electrode of said accelerting tube.
