Abstract
Using a convex crystal spectrometer, a numerical method was elaborated which allows one to determine the linear size of an x-ray source from the measure of spectral linewidths. This method was applied to the de termination of the size of a very brief spark, produced by a high-volt age discharge near tungsten and iron tips, It is shown that, under the experimental conditions, the broadening geometric effect related to t he size predominates over all the other broadening effects.
