Abstract :
One of optional version of multi-pass Bremsstrahlung target for intensive pulsed X-ray source is described. Monte Carlo 3-d simulation of Bremsstrahlung characteristics of multi-pass target is discussed. The target under consideration is thin tantalum foil embedded in uniform magnetic field whose direction is oblique to the foil normal, but in contrast to [J. A. Halbleib Sr., 1974] the target is oriented such way that magnetic field direction is parallel to beam axis. X-ray target efficiency is calculated depending on magnetic field, thickness, inclination, electron energy and injected electron angle distribution.
