Ionization of hot gas flows of high density by X-ray radiation during photoluminescence of the transmission-type anode

A model is proposed and the calculation of a pulsed ionizer of dense gas fluxes is made, based on the absorption of intense, characteristic, X-ray radiation from a copper anode of the transmission type, covered with a layer of tungsten or molybdenum. The pulse power of the ionizer is from 250 to 1000 kW, which makes it possible to ionize to a high degree of ionization close to $\sim$100% the dense gas flow of atoms and molecules in the combustion chamber of a small-sized, liquid, jet engine or for other applications in science and technology.
