PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a radiation generating apparatus which shields unnecessary radiation rays, cools a target, and reduces the weight with a simple structure.SOLUTION: A radiation generating apparatus includes: a package 1 having a first window 2 which transmits a radiation ray; a radiation tube 10 housed in the package 1 and having a second window 15, which transmits the radiation ray, at a position facing the first window 2; and a radiation shield member 16 which is thermally connected with the second window 15, has a radiation passing hole 21 communicating with the second window 15, and protrudes from the second window 15 to the first window 2 side. Further, a heat conduction member 17, having heat conductivity higher than that of the radiation shield member 16, is connected with a protruding portion of the radiation shield member 16.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡易な構造で不要な放射線の遮蔽とターゲットの冷却を可能とすると共に、軽量化を図った放射線発生装置を提供する。【解決手段】放射線を透過する第一の窓2を有する外囲器1と、外囲器1内に収納され、第一の窓2と対向する位置に放射線を透過する第二の窓15を有する放射線管10と、第二の窓15に熱的に接続され、第二の窓15に連通する放射線通過孔21を有し、第二の窓15から第一の窓2側に突出した放射線遮蔽部材16とを備え、しかも、放射線遮蔽部材16よりも熱伝導率が高い熱伝導部材17が、放射線遮蔽部材16の前記突出した部分に接続されている放射線発生装置とする。【選択図】図1
