Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
X-ray sources and production of X-rays, in particular, producing monochromatic x-rays is provided. More specifically, a method for producing X-rays and the use of the X-ray source for x-raying bodies (for example human bodies). An aerogel, for example in the form of a rod, may be provided in a housing as a target. Said target may be bombarded with an electron beam, the aerogel being vaporized due to the extreme low density and the high energy. As a result, the target is guided by means of a roller such that an unused target for producing, in particular, the monochromatic X-rays, is always available.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An X-ray source having a housing in which a target is provided that can emit X-rays when the target is bombarded with an electron beam, wherein the target includes a target material, wherein said target material is an aerogel. 2. The X-ray source as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aerogel is fixed on a metal foil made of a light metal or a plurality of light metals. 3. The X-ray source as claimed in claim 2 , w…
