A novel type of pulsed X-ray generator especially suitable for rare eventsearches, as dark matter and neutrino experiments, has been developed. Beingcompact and built with selected radio-pure materials, it is appropriate forlow-background experiments. UV light generated by a pulsed lamp producesphotoelectrons on a metallic cathode, which are subsequently accelerated toproduce X-rays. The X-rays are emitted in bunches with a time resolution betterthan 1 ns and the system provides a fast trigger for event tagging. We presentthe idea of the new X-ray generator as well as experimental results showing theproof of concept of the device. Data are in good agreement with simulationresults and future optimisations of the system are also discussed.
