A cathode has an emission layer that thermionically emits electrons upon exposure with a laser beam. The material of the emission layer has a product of density (ρ), measured in kg m 3 , heat capacity (Cp), measured in J kg K and heat conductivity (λ), measured in W mK that is, at room temperature, maximally 500,000 J 2 m 4 K 2 s . Such a cathode has an improved thermionic emission of electrons.

In an x-ray beam computed tomography apparatus having a ring anode scanned by an electron beam for producing an x-ray beam which rotates around an examination region, measurement of the intensity distribution in the electron beam is enabled at various locations of the ring anode during operation. For this purpose, the ring anode can have at a number of locations around its circumferential direction, insulated sub-anodes with an insulating interspace therebetween, to which a measuring arrangement for measuring the charge distribution, and thus the intensity distribution, in the electron beam is connected. The charge distribution is measured when the electron beam sweeps the interspace between two sub-anodes.

The invention is directed to a plain bearing part for a liquid metal lubricated plain bearing, the plain bearing part having a bearing surface that is in contact with a liquid metal during operation. This bearing surface is provided with a layer of a metal effective as diffusion barrier for the liquid metal and which is well wetted with the liquid metal. The layer is applied according to a PVD process.

An electron generating assembly for an x-ray tube has a thermionic cathode and an electrode system for accelerating electrons emitted by the thermionic cathode, and an electron multiplier disposed in the electron path. In order to achieve a given electron beam density, the electron beam current emitted by the cathode can be reduced dependent on the multiplication factor of the electron multiplier, thereby extending the service life of the overall assembly. The electron multiplier can be controllable.
