Abstract

In this paper the DPF-200 plasma focus device as a pulsed X-ray source has been described. The main specifications of the device are: stored energy 250 kJ, circuit inductance 50 nH, operating voltage 20-45 kv, maximum current 2.5 MA. A set of seventeen switchs of fields distortion spark gaps were parallelly used for discharge. The jetter time was 10±ns. The Mather type DPF was adopted in discharging chamber. The X-ray yield measured is 50-90 J/shot and photon energy 3-60 keV, When the pressure of H2 gas is 533-800 Pa in chamber and stored energy is 40 kJ. The entire device was stably operated, and up to now near 104 shot of DPF-200 has been conducted.
