Abstract
An X-ray source, which includes a resonant cavity preferably of a cylindrical shape, is excited in a microwave mode TE11p and affected by a static and non-homogeneous magnetic field that grows longitudinally. An electron beam is injected longitudinally through one of the lateral walls of the cavity and is continuously accelerated until it reaches an energy sufficient to produce X-rays after the electrons bombard a metallic target located in the plane where they stop their longitudinal movement. The profile of the magnetic field grows in such a way that it maintains the conditions of electron cyclotron resonance along the helical paths of the electrons, The device can be used to obtain radiographic images and even produce hard X-rays.
