Abstract

In summary, we have studied high energy x-ray sources suitable for radiography of strongly compressed materials. Spatial resolutions of better than 20 μm was demonstrated as well as sufficient dynamic for quantitative density measurements. The importance of the experimental geometry was demonstrated for the 18 keV x-rays, where the radiograph quality decreased significantly, when the laser axis is close to the radiography axis.
