Popis: The generation of x-rays and high-energy electron beams in gas diodes filled with air and nitrogen at atmospheric pressure has been studied by experimental and theoretical methods. It is established that soft x-ray radiation is not only generated in the region of dense discharge, but is predominantly emitted from a weak-current discharge region. For a high-energy electron beam formation in the gap, the role of the voltage pulse front is not less important than that of the voltage amplitude; the electric field strength at the cathode has an optimum value for the electron beam formation.
