Abstract :
Line soft X-ray emission of pulse electron-cyclotron resonance (ECR) discharge in Argon sustained by powerful beam of millimeter waves in a mirror magnetic trap was investigated. X-ray spectrum in a range 6–17 nm has been obtained, absolute spectral intensity of radiation in this range has been determined. It was shown that such discharge is an effective source of soft X-ray radiation with conversion efficiency of microwaves into X-rays on a level of 10% and with spectral power maximum of 7.3 kW/nm at wavelength of 9 nm.
