Diagnostic Systems of High-Current Electron Beam of Linear Induction Accelerator

The paper discusses the diagnostic systems for a high-current electron beam of the LIA-20 linear induction accelerator which forms the basis of the X-ray complex. The complex is designed to form X-ray images of fast processes occurring in optically opaque dense media. The obtained X-ray images are used for calibration of computational codes and development of new physicomathematical models. Methods to determine position, current, energy, and cross-section of the beam, as well as the size of a focal spot on the conversion target, were developed to focus a high-intensity electron beam onto the conversion target in order to obtain high-quality X-ray images.
