Abstract :
The results of experimental research on bremsstrahlung gas converters are reported in the paper. The idea to use some heavy gas for bremsstrahlung generation was suggested previously. To increase the radiation loss density of electrons in gas the electron gradient drift in azimuthal magnetic field produced by line current is used. The gas converter experiments have been performed on Nadezshda, nanosecond electron accelerator at about 1 MeV accelerating voltage and 7 Ohm output impedance of the double forming line
