Outline of Final Research Achievements

There are various demands for X-ray sources to be more powerful tools for inspection. For instance, miniaturization, increasing X-ray output energy and intensity, improvement of stability and efficiency are strongly required. In this work, transmitting type carbon target has been developed to meet the demands and its performance was demonstrated. Instead of using conventional metallic target, transmitting target has advantage in X-ray intensity. It is expected as a handy type X-ray analysis will become possible by applying this target and accuracy of analysis will be improved at the same time. Moreover, it is considered as this technique can be also applied to industrial applications, such as more compact X-ray CT system and precise non-destructive inspection.
