Generation of the electric field pulsating at 2.45 GHz in the CERA-RX(C) electron cyclotron resonance source and its influence on X-ray generation efficiency

A mechanism for the onset of pulsations of the electric field at a pumping frequency of 2.45 GHz is determined, and its influence on the efficiency of characteristic X-ray generation in the CERA-RX(C) source is shown. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
