The VNIIEF magnetic bubble approach to an x-ray source

Both analytic and cursory numerical investigations indicate that the All-Russian Scientific Institute for Experimental Physics (VNIIEF) approach to x-ray generation has potential advantages. An experimental test of this concept was conducted at VNIIEF in Sarov, Russia, in the spring of 1994. We present only the analytic and numerical investigations, which clearly demonstrate the potential advantages of this approach. 5 figs
