Abstract

X-ray photons (with an energy of more than 10 keV) have been detected using photometers-spectrometers developed at the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, Moscow State University, similar to those used to detect X-rays from high-altitude discharges in orbital experiments, during the laboratory simulation using the Marx GROZA GIN-1MV generator installed at the Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences. Several cases of the appearance of X-ray photons with an energy of 20 to 160 keV have been detected, including those simultaneously in several detectors. Indications are received that it was possible to detect real X-ray photons during the laboratory experiments on the simulation of lightning discharges, which corresponds to the predictions of theoretical models and data of orbital and ground-based observations.
