X-ray source for generating X-rays with a hollow body target and a method for generating X-radiation in a hollow body target

摘要

X-ray source for generating X-radiation by impingement of electron beams on a target, wherein in the beam path of the electron beam (5) a hollow body target (15) for advantageous use of the backscattered electrons (8) is arranged, whose entire inner surface is acted upon by the electron beam (5) , the X-ray source is operated with acceleration voltages from 100 kV and utilizes the preferred direction of the X-ray radiation.
