Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A radiation generating apparatus of the present invention includes an envelope 1 including a first window 2 allowing radiation to pass; a radiation tube 10 that is accommodated in the envelope 1 , and includes a second window 15 allowing radiation to pass, at a position opposite to the first window 2 ; a radiation passing hole 21 that is thermally connected to the second window 15 and communicates with the second window 15 ; and a radiation shielding member 16 protruding from the second window 15 toward the first window 2 . In this apparatus, a thermally conductive member 17 having a higher thermal conductivity than the radiation shielding member 16 is connected to an outer periphery of the protruding portion of the radiation shielding member 16 . The simple configuration can shield unnecessary radiation, and cool the target, while facilitating reduction in weight.
