High Voltage System for the Generation of High Energy X-rays: synchronization and improvement

Abstract

The x-ray (3 keV - 25 keV) are produced by high voltage discharge applied inside plasma source interaction chamber by focusing a laser beam. The control system is based on a high voltage power supply and an LC-inverter circuit with Thyratron, the generation of the trigger signal increasing the efficiency of the system. Analysis of the system, a possible layout with solid-state element and preliminary results of synchronization between high voltage discharge and Laser beam Nd-YAG are presented and discussed.
