On the Generation of Intense Cs K X-Rays upon Electron Excitation of a Mo Target Heat Treated in Cs and O2 Vapors

JETP Letters - The possibility of stable generation of intense characteristic Cs radiation upon electronic excitation of a Mo anode target heat treated in Cs and O2 vapors is demonstrated. The...     

Application of LFS-3 crystals as luminescent screens of picosecond image tubes

It is shown that the LFS-3 crystal installed as a luminescent screen in a picosecond image tube provides the shortest afterglow time in comparisonwith all other fast-damping luminescent screens such as Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce, Y₂SiO₅:Ce, and others we previously tested under similar conditions. The LFS-3 crystal exposed to single 8-ps pulses of 12–15-keV electrons shows the luminescence decay time no more than 250 ns by the level of 10^-2 of the maximum.
