A soft x-ray generator includes a unique pulse trigger assembly which reliably and reproducibly provides a plasma to initiate the discharge between a cathode and an anode, and having a cone-shaped geometry. The soft x-ray generator of the present invention also includes a rotating anode which is generally disk- shaped with an outer circumferential edge which can be rotated with respect to the cathode to expose different sections of the anode to the plasma discharge, thereby reducing anode wear and providing longer term operation. Anode erosion is also reduced by the liquid cooling of the anode during use. The generator utilizes a relatively low capacitance for the cathode-to-anode discharge and a relatively high voltage and pulse repetition rate (frequency) to achieve continuous reproducible results.

La présente invention concerne un générateur de rayons x mous qui comprend un ensemble déclencheur d~impulsion unique qui produit de manière fiable et reproductible du plasma afin d~initier la décharge entre une cathode et une anode, et présente une géométrie en forme de cône. Le générateur de rayons x mous se compose également d~une anode tournante qui a généralement la forme d~un disque doté d~un bord circonférentiel externe qui peut tourner par rapport à la cathode afin d~exposer différentes parties de l~anode à la décharge de plasma, ce qui permet de réduire l~usure de l~anode et d~obtenir une opération à plus long terme. Le refroidissement à liquide de l~anode pendant son utilisation permet aussi de réduire son érosion. Le générateur emploie une capacité relativement faible pour la décharge passant de la cathode à l~anode ainsi qu~une tension et un taux de répétition (fréquence) relativement élevés afin d~obtenir des résultats pouvant être reproduits en continu.
