Laser x-ray source apparatus and target used therefore

摘要

The invention teaches a x-ray source apparatus ( 50 ) with a continuous target ( 10 ). The continuous target ( 10 ) is hit on a first side ( 60 ) of the continuous target ( 10 ) by a photon beam ( 30 ) from a photon source ( 20 ). X-rays ( 80 ) are emitted from the continuous target ( 10 ). The emitted x-rays ( 80 ) are extracted from the x-ray source apparatus ( 50 ) from a second side ( 70 ) of the continuous target ( 10 ). The first side ( 60 ) of the continuous target ( 10 ) and the second side ( 70 ) of the continuous target ( 10 ) are opposite sides of the continuous target ( 10 ). The used continuous target ( 10 ) comprises nano particles.
