Abstract :
The pulsed electron accelerator for radiation technologies (kinetic energy of electrons 200 - 400 keV, beam current 150 - 1000 A and pulse duration 20 and 100 nsec) is considered in the report. The pulsed electron accelerator consists from Marx pulsed high voltage generator, vacuum electron source with explosive emission cathode. Accelerator has 2 modes of operation: pulsed electron beam and pulsed X-rays. The concept of target for production of X-rays is considered.
