Abstract: | This paper studies the properties of a kind of portable ultra-bright
microfocus x-ray source with the Monte-Carlo method in detail. The new
x-ray source consists of an electron-emission system, an
electrostatic focusing system and a metal target. A crystal
Lanthanum Hexaboride cathode, a Wehnelt grid and an extracted
electrode compose the triode electrode electron-gun system. Two
equal radius cylinder electrodes form the focusing system. The key
factors determining the focus properties of the electron beam such as the
ratio $D_{\rm w}/H$, grid bias $V_{\rm g}$, and the properties of the
extracted electrode are numerically studied. The calculated results
reveal that when $D_{\rm w}$/$H$, $V_{\rm g}$, the length of
the extracted electrode, and the distance between the grid and the extracted
electrode equals 5, --0.6~kV, 10~mm, and 8~mm respectively, the
electron beam focal spot can be concentrated down to 9~$\mu $m in
radius and a reasonable focal length about 72.5~mm can be achieved,
at the same time, the cathode emission currents can be as high as
30~mA. |
