Plasma focus as a powerful hard X-ray source for ultrafast imaging of moving metallic objects

Using high energy, pulsed X-rays, generated by a 4.7 kJ Plasma Focus operated with deuterium - argon admixtures, images of fast rotating metallic pieces were obtained. This illustrates the potential application of Plasma Focus devices for non invasive scanning of moving metallic objects. The samples...
