Abstract
The construction and characteristics of a pulsed monoenergetic soft X- ray source (E = 0.848 keV) are presented. The source is based on the p rinciple of conversion of the X-ray radiation emitted from a heavy-cur rent discharge of plasma focus, and allows obtaining a ''spectral puri ty'' of the emitted radiation close to 100%. The radiant flux density is about 10(17) photon/(cm(2) s), which is sufficient for the calibrat ion of X-ray detectors with sensitivities not lower than about similar to 10(-19) (C cm(2))/photon.
