Abstract: Energetic electron beam assisted x-ray generator having a plasma generator nd an electron source interconnected by a sealed pinch tube and control means for the plasma generator, electron source, and said sealed pinch tube to cause the electron source to be focused on the plasma from the plasma generator and to cause the electron source to be transmitted to the plasma of the plasma generator at the appropriate time to cause a maximum amount of soft x-rays to be produced by the interaction of the outputs of the plasma generator and the electron source when said plasma has been seeded with appropriate high Z-material.

Abstract: Energetic electron beam assisted fusion neutron generator which comprises a lasma generator and an electron source interconnected by a pinch tube and control means for the plasma generator, electron source, and said pinch tube to cause the electron source to be focused on the plasma from the plasma generator and to cause the electron source to be transmitted to the plasma of the plasma generator at the appropriate time to cause a maximum amount of neutrons to be produced by the interaction of the outputs of the plasma generator and the electron source through an appropriate gas filling the plasma generator.

Abstract: Energetic electron beam assisted x-ray generator in which a plasma is proed by a plasma generator and seeded by high Z material to produce x-rays and to increase the number of x-rays, an electron beam source is guided to the produced plasma to further heat the plasma and produce an even greater number of x-rays. The inner electrode of the plasma generator utilizes the interaction of the beam's self magnetic field with the inner surface of the inner electrode to guide the electron source to the plasma.
