Abstract

The X ray sources based on electron linac can produce X-rays with high energy, concentrated directions, and strong penetrating power, which have been widely applied in various fields.An electronic linear accelerator which has been built at present can provide an electron beam with energy of 120 MeV and pulse width of picoseconds. The electron beam shooting at the metal targets can produce ultra-fast pulsed X-rays in the order of picoseconds. In this paper, the pulse X ray characteristics are studied through simulating electron beam shooting at four metal targets with different thickness of Au, Ta, U, W and Pb by Monte Carlo methods. The calculation shows that the X-rays can reach about 1010 /pulse and the pulse width can reach about picoseconds level, when the pulsed electron beams with energy of 120 MeV, charge of 0.5 nC and pulse width of picoseconds shooting at Ta targets. The yield and time width of pulsed X-rays are related to the diameter and thickness of the target.
