This project organized is an exploration of X-ray production from pulling scotch tape. If you peel tape off a reel in vacuum at a few cm per second rate, megahertz of 1-40 keV X-rays are produced.

X-rays from peeling tape

This project is an exploration of X-ray production from pulling scotch tape. If you peel tape off a reel in vacuum at a few cm per second rate, megahertz of 1-40 keV X-rays are produced. X-ray imaging is easy.
