Abstract :
An investigation of the possibility to form nanosecond electron beams has been performed on the SNOP-I and SNOP-2 generators with the goal to create X-ray sources for testing objects of area 5 to 3000 cm2. The experiments were carried out at voltages 0.4 to 1 MV, currents 200 to 600 A, and beam energies 10 to 20 kJ. Diodes with pinching, annular, and sheet beams were tested. It has been demonstrated that the decelerators can be smoothly tuned for irradiation of objects of area 5 to 3000 cm2 with a rather good energy matching between the accelerator and the diode.
