A high-power X-ray source comprises a stationary hollow metallic cone. X-rays are emitted from a portion of the surface of the inside of the cone in response to bombardment of the surface portion by electrons. By means of a unique diverter, a substantially uniform and turbulent flow of water characterized by nucleate boiling is established in the immediate vicinity of the outside surface of the cone to achieve highly efficient cooling thereof. As a result, reliable operation of an X-ray source at high power densities is realized. |
