The number of passes of high-energy electrons through multiple foil and crystal radiators mounted inside of the Tomsk “Sirius” synchrotron, and the resulting increase in x-ray production efficiencies from these radiators, have been measured. The influence of electron transmission on the spectral and spatial distributions of parametric x radiation and on the spatial distribution of transition radiation has also been observed. We find that multiple passes increase the yields of these sources without destroying their angular distributions and spectra. Thus, multiple passes of electrons through these novel radiators may make them useful as x-ray sources for scientific and industrial purposes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
