Abstract
A high‐current, three‐cavity, standing‐wave linear electron accelerator (PHERMEX) has been designed and built to produce a pulsed bremsstrahlung beam. This beam was desired for use in flash radiography of explosively driven metal configurations, as an aid in the study of shock‐induced hydrodynamic phenomena. An unfocused beam exceeding 70 A for 0.10 or 0.20 μsec is available, at a peak energy of about 20 MeV. A 20 A beam for radiographic use, for the same time intervals and peak energy, is focused directly onto a tungsten target to form a 3 mm diam bremsstrahlung source.Keywords
