The radiation of a volumetric gas discharge in xenon, excited by a compact high-current (5 kA) high-voltage (about 300 kV) sub-nanosecond generator, was investigated using a fast pin-diode. It was shown that the radiation lies mainly in the range of the vacuum ultraviolet with a wavelength of less than 200 nm, and the radiation intensity does not depend on the pressure of the working gas in the investigated range of 0.1–3.0 atm.
