Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004110112A1] The invention relates to methods for effecting the plasma-based generation of X-ray radiation involving the following steps: providing a target material (50) in the form of a free flow pattern (51) in a vacuum chamber (20), and; irradiating the target material (50) in order to create a plasma state in which the X-ray radiation is emitted. The flow pattern (51) is shaped in such a manner that the target material has, at least at the site of irradiation, a surface (52) with a local curvature minimum. The invention also relates to devices for carrying out these methods and, in particular, to X-ray sources for effecting the plasma-based generation of X-ray radiation.
