Abstract
The design of an intense source of flash X-rays that delivers a measured peak dose and dose rate of 370 krad(Si) and 3.5*10/sup 13/ rad(Si)/s over a useful area of 80 cm/sup 2/ without target destruction is described, and measurements are compared with predictions of a numerical model. The quality of the agreement gives credibility to the measurements, validates the main assumptions of the model, and gives insight into the generation and transport of the electron/photon cascade within the source.<>
