Abstract :
X-ray radiation characteristics from a diode filled with atmospheric pressure air were investigated. A source of soft X-ray radiation with the FWHL less than 200 ps and exposure doze of about 3 mR per pulse has been created on the basis of a SLEP-150 pulser (maximum voltage amplitude of about 140 kV, FWHM of about 1 ns, and pulse rise time of about 0.3 ns). The main contribution into a registered exposure dose is shown to be made by X-ray quanta with the effective energy of about 9 keV.
