Construction of an ultrasoft X-ray source - investigations with a view to the irradiation of biological objects

Creators

Description

Beam guidance in the X-ray source (0.3 keV to 10 keV) takes place by means of pair of quadrupole lenses. The characteristic radiation was generated using C, Al, and Cu targets, and the beam was guided by a monitor system. An energy dose rate of 5 Gy/min was reached. This is sufficient for mammal cells as well as for bacteria. (DG)

Abstract (German)

Die Strahlfuehrung der Roentgenstrahlenquelle (0,3 keV bis 10 keV) erfolgt mittels eines Quadrupollinsenpaars. Zur Erzeugung der charakteristischen Strahlung wurden ein C-, Al- und Cu-Target eingesetzt. Die Strahlkontrolle uebernahm ein Monitorsystem. Die erreichbare Energiedosisleistung betrug ca 5 Gy/min. Damit koennen neben Saeugetierzellen auch Bakterien bestrahlt werden. (DG)
