The performance of a continuously pumped flash X-ray tube has been studied in the voltage range 250-600 kV. Dose, pulse length, beam quality, source size and spatial distribution of the radiation were measured. It is shown that the output intensity is maximized if the tube impedance is 2.3 times the internal impedance of the pulser.
