Nanosecond time resolved x-ray diagnostics of relativistic electron beam initiated events
The dynamic behavior of a test sample during aid shortly after it has teen irradiated by an intense relativistic electron beam (REB) is of great interest to the study of team energy deposition. Since the sample densities are far beyond the cutoff in the optical region, flash x-radiography techniques have been developed to diagnose the evolution of the samples. The conventional approach of analyzing the dynamic behavior of solid densities utilizes one or more short x-ray bursts to record images on photographic emulsion. This technique is not useful in the presence of the intense x-rays from the REB interacting with the sample. We report two techniques for isolating the film package from the REB x-ray pulse.
