X-RAY TARGET MONITOR Abstract of the Disclosure A source of x-rays encompassing a rotating target is provided with a detector of x-rays located outside a port of a housing of the source and positioned at or near a tangent line to the radiating surface for observing variations in the radiation intensity due to rotation of the target, the varia- tions being pronounced due to the heel effect of the radiation pattern. In one embodiment, the x-ray detector employs a scin- tillation material and is coupled by a light pipe to a photo- detector which is removed from the path of the radiation and detects scintillations of the x-ray detector. Alternatively, the photodetector and light pipe may be deleted by the use of a detector of germanium, silicon or an ion chamber which con- verts x-ray photons directly to an electric current.
