Development of an innovative X-ray source

Cel

The principal objective of this grant is to develop via the Transfer of Knowledge Marie Curie Action a state of the art compact table top X-pinch device. The x-ray emission of the X-pinch generator will be in the range of 1-10 keV, the total x-ray power will be 1kW and will be investigated as a function of the pulsed current, the wire material and the material size. Emphasis will be given to investigate the physics of the formation of the dense hot plasma at the cross-point and the radiation transport.

The self-generated magnetic field in the overdense region of the x-ray point source will be diagnosed using a novel technique based on the Faraday rotation of a probe laser pulse and the Cotton-Mouton effect on XUV harmonics generated by a femtosecond laser system. Applications of x-rays in science, industry and medicine will be explored. In particular, x-ray lithography for new semiconductor material research for nanotechnology purposes and x-ray radiography and microscopy of biological cells will be performed.

The proposed work envisaged will provide excellent Transfer of Knowledge opportunities from world leading Universities and Research Centres (Imperial College, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, University of California) to a less favoured region (Crete) in need of developing new areas of competence and knowledge in the field of pulsed power technology and x-ray sources.
