FLASH X-RAY DEVICES FOR PUMPING NUCLEAR MATERIALS DEVELOPED IN THE GAMMA-RAY LASER PROGRAM AT TEXAS
Progress in construction and scaling of a repetitively pulsed, flash x-ray device producing intense nanosecond pulses is described. This source would be used to excite nuclear fluorescence for the evaluation of candidate materials for a gamma-ray laser. For some applications these devices can offer a table-top laboratory alternative to laser plasma x-rays and to synchrotron radiation
