Abstract :
The results of experiments on a plasma X-radiation source in the PIRIT-2000 facility are presented in this paper. The facility is designed with module capacitive energy storage, energizing a vacuum inductive storage. The formation of a rapidly growing current pulse as well as its commutation on a load was carried out by a plasma opening switch. A vacuum diode as well as various types of plasma loads can be used for the generation of a high-power X-ray flux. The energy store of a primary 54 modules capacitive storage is up to 2 MJ, its inductance is 15 nR and its output voltage is 500 kV. The current amplitude in the plasma load was 4 MA with the 150 ns rise time.
