AbstractAbstract
[en] A compact Marx generator (225kV, 6kA, 100ns, 150J) has been designed and developed which is made of folded pulse forming line modules (FPFL). The FPFL gives flat top output pulse. Firstly, it was characterized with non inductive aqueous resistive load then connected to relativistic diode. This diode chamber is evacuated with online vacuum system and generated electron pulses are converted into flash X-rays by Bremsstrahlung radiation. The Marx generator has the advantages of higher peak power rating, compactness, low cost and reliability in comparison with the conventional pulse-forming network (PFN) Marx. Details of the Marx generator and FXR source are described in following sections. (author)
