Generation of hard x-ray pulse trains with the help of high-frequency oscillating systems for fast processes recording

One of possible methods oftaking several successive pictures of a certain process in optically opaque medium or inside enclosed volume is X-ray shooting ofthe process by means ofa pulsed X-ray source. Development of such a source, which could generate stable and powerful hard X-ray pulses separated by steady time intervals of minimal duration up to 1-2 microseconds, is a technically difficult tast. All known attempts to solve this problem by improvement ofpulsed X-ray apparatus employing X-ray tubes with autoelectronic emission or firing-emission cathodes have failed so far to bring marked success. It is precisely this fact that explains why the authors of the presented paper have the reasoning to consider that high-frequency pulsed X-ray apparatus PAflC-500011-1 they have developed can be of a certain interest for both the investigators eximining fast processes and development engineers of X-ray equipment.
