The present invention relates to a betatron with coil compression and expansion, first of all, for the formation of x-rays in x-ray installation. When checking bulky items such as containers and vehicles for illegal content, such as weapons, explosives or contraband, known use of x-ray installation. If this form of x-rays and provide guidance on the subject. Weakened subject to x-rays is measured by the detector and analyze the analyzer. Thus, a conclusion can be made about the properties of the object. Such x-ray installation is known, for example, from the publication of the European patent EP 0412190 B1. For the formation of x-rays necessary for checking energy more than 1 MeV using the betatron. We are talking about circular accelerators, in which electrons are accelerated in a circular orbit. Accelerated electrons are directed to the target where they are at hit create bremsstrahlung spectrum, which also depends on the electron energy. Known from the publication of the patent application DE 2357126 A1 betatron consists of two internal yoke, in which the face side, both parts of the yoke positioned opposite each other. Through two main field coils in the internal yoke create a magnetic field. Foreign yoke connects both remote from each other end of the internal parts of the yoke and closes the magnetic circuit. Between the end both sides of the internal parts of the yoke is a vacuum chamber betatron, which move in a circle to be accelerated electrons. The face side of the internal parts of the yoke is designed in such a way that created by the coil of the main field of the magnetic field forces the electrons move in a circular orbit and, in addition, a strong focus in the plane, where is this circular orbit. For flux control is known location ferromagnetic paste between the frontal sides of the internal parts of the yoke inside the chamber betatron. Electrons injections, for example, by electron gun at the camera betatron and through the coil of the main field increases the current, and consequently, and the strength of the magnetic field. By changing the magnetic field is generated electric field, which accelerates the electrons in their circular orbit. Simultaneously with the strength of the magnetic field equal increases acting on the electrons of the Lorentz force. As a result, the electrons are kept at a constant radius of the orbit. The electron moves in a circular orbit, if the Lorentz force, directed to the center of a circular orbit, and centripetal force, directed in the opposite direction, are mutually compensated. It follows from this condition, Wideroe: where r s is specified radius of the electron orbit, a is the surface area, bounded by a given orbit radius r s , and <B(r, s )> - the average area of A magnetic force. The disadvantage of this betatron is the fact that, for example, due to manufacturing tolerances, or scattering electron gun just a small part of the injected into the camera betatron electrons focuses on the desired circular orbit, thereby speeding up to final energy. The result is reduced efficiency. In addition, there is a problem of emission of accelerated electrons, that is the direction with the preset orbit to the target. Therefore, the objective of the invention consists in development of betatron that does not have the above shortcomings. According to the invention, this task is solved by means of signs, paragraph 1, of the claims. Preferred forms of exercise are given in dependent claims 2-6. Item 7 of the formula of the invention refers to the x-ray installation with application of the proposed betatron. Object invention is the betatron for generation of x-ray radiation, particularly in x-ray facility containing: - rotation-symmetric internal yoke of two located at a distance from each other's parts, - foreign yoke, connecting both parts of the interior of the yoke, - at least one spool of the main field - toroidal chamber betatron, located between the opposite end of the parties to the internal parts of the yoke, - at least one coil compression and expansion (CF-coil), and between the front side of the relevant part of the internal yoke and camera betatron is level one coil compression and expansion, and the radius of the coil compression and expansion essentially equal to the radius of the orbits of electrons in the cell betatron, - electronic gun, injects electrons in the camera betatron. Proposed invention betatron contains electronic control scheme, and the conclusions of the coil compression and expansion connected with a source of current or voltage, and at least in one line between the coil compression and expansion, and a source of current or voltage is the switch is driven by the electronic control circuit, and electronic circuit is made so that at the time of emission of electrons to the current passing through the coil compression and expansion, when the material yoke is on nonlinear curve hysteresis. If the radius of electrons injection into the camera betatron more specified radius of the orbit during acceleration, due to the magnetic field CF-coil air condition, Wideroe runs on a smaller radius of the orbit. This leads to the fact that electrons within pulse compression moving in an orbit that approaches the desired specified radius of the orbit. At the end of the process of acceleration of electrons on the phase of release is sent to the target. To do this, on the coil compression and expansion again is current. The current passing through CF-coil during the ejection of electrons is also called a pulse expansion. At this point coil main field create a stronger magnetic field than during the injection phase. The material parts of the yoke and round wafer is the non-linear hysteresis curve, which describes the relationship between the exciting magnetic flux and magnetic flux in the material. Therefore, the magnetic flow in the material, in relation to the magnetic flux in the air (gap) between the internal parts of the yoke, coil compression and expansion becomes more influence than during the injection phase. This leads to the violation of the conditions of Wideroe, which is now again changed the given radius of the orbit. Electrons move in having the form of a spiral orbit in the direction of the modified specified radius of the orbit and in this movement are on target. If the target is, for example, outside of the specified radius of the orbit, then the magnetic field CF-coil changes of a magnetic stream in such a way that the condition of Wideroe runs on a larger radius. Thus, the electron drift outwards until you get to the target. In a preferred embodiment, the invention of the betatron has advanced at least one round plate between the internal parts of the yoke, so that its longitudinal axis coincides with the axis of rotational symmetry internal yoke. Electron gun that injects the electrons in the camera betatron, emits electrons in having the form of a funnel the field of spatial angle with a certain probability distribution. According to the pulse duration compression can be set, what part of this area spatial angle electrons focus on given a circular orbit. In addition, you can compensate mounting tolerances electron gun. Conclusions CF-coil connected with a source of current or voltage, and at least in one line between the CF-coil and a source of current or voltage is designed to actuate the electronic circuit of the control switch. The switch is, for example, high-power semiconductor switch, such as the IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor - bipolar transistor with insulated gate). The switch determines how the time and duration of passage of current through the coil. By varying the length of pulse compression and/or extensions installed amplitude maximum current coil and, thus, the maximum change of the magnetic field. This electronic control scheme, preferably made in such a way that the moment of inclusion and activation time of the switch, that is, the beginning and duration of the pulse compression or expansion may change. According to the invention the same coil compression and expansion is used as for focusing of the electron at a given circular orbit during the injection phase and for the emission of electrons on the target. This minimizes the footprint compared with two separate coils, due to what you can achieve better insulation winding coils. In addition, you can save on power electronic devices for power coils. The betatron has detector for the measurement of the intensity of the generated x-ray radiation. Preferably, the detector is connected with electronic control scheme in order to determine the moment of inclusion and activation time of the switch via electronic control circuit on the output signal of the detector. Receive a regulatory system that chooses pulse compression in order to achieve the desired intensity of radiation. It is also preferable if at least one coil main field is located inside the yoke, primarily the narrowing or shoulder internal yoke. This leads to the fact that essentially all magnetic flux generated by the coil is the main field that passes through the inner yoke. The predominant way betatron has two coils of the main field on each part of the inner yoke is one coil of the main field. This leads to the preferential distribution of the magnetic flow in internal parts of the yoke. Preferably, the proposed betatron is used in x-ray installation to verify security features. Electrons injections in the betatron and accelerated before they will be directed to a target, consisting, e.g. of tantalum. There electrons generate x-ray radiation with a known spectrum. X-ray radiation is directed to the object, preferably a container and/or means of transport, and there is modified, for example, due to dispersion or transmission attenuation. Modified x-ray radiation is measured by x-ray detector and analyzed with analyzer (device data). The results make a conclusion about the properties or content of the object. The present invention is explained in more detail on the example of its implementation with reference to the drawings that show: on the figure 1 - schematic representation of the proposed betatron in the section, in the figure 2 - qualitative characteristic changes in the strength of the magnetic field depending on the radius during the injection phase, in the figure 3 - qualitative characteristics of the change of power magnetic field depending on the radius during the phase of emission, and the in the figure 4 - the electric circuit to control the CF-coil. On the figure 1 shows the schematic section building preferred betatron 1. Among other things, it consists of a rotationally symmetric internal yoke of the two located at a distance from each other parts 2a, 2b, four round plates 3a-3d between parts 2a, 2b internal yoke, with the longitudinal axis of the round plates 3a-3d corresponds to the axis of rotational symmetry internal yoke, connecting both parts of the inner yoke 2a, 2b outdoor yoke 4, located between parts 2a, 2b internal toroidal yoke camera 5 betatron, two coils 6a and 6b of the main field, and not depicted in figure 1 electronic circuit 8 management. Coil 6a and 6b are located on the shoulder parts 2a or 2b internal yoke. They generate a magnetic field permeates part 2a and 2b internal yoke, with the magnetic circuit is closed by external yoke 4. The form of internal and/or external yoke can be selected specialist depending on the application and may differ from the presented on the figure 1 form. Also, there may be only one or more than two coils of the main field. Another amount and/or form of round plates is also possible. Between the end of the parties parts 2a and 2b internal yoke magnetic field partially goes through a round plate 3a-3d, and the rest - through an air gap. This air gap is located 5 betatron. When it comes to vacuum chamber, which accelerated electrons. The face side parts 2a and 2b internal yoke have the form, which is chosen so that the magnetic field between them focus the electron in a circular orbit. The shape of the face parties well-known specialist and therefore is not explained in more detail. At the end of the process of accelerating electrons reach the target and therefore generate x-rays, the spectrum of which, among other things, depends on final energy electrons and the target material. To accelerate electrons with initial energy injections in camera 5 betatron. During the acceleration phase of the magnetic field in the betatron 1 through coils 6a and 6b of the main field is constantly growing. Consequently formed the electric field, which has an accelerating impact on electrons. At the same time, the electrons due to the Lorentz force drifting on a given circular orbit inside the camera 5 betatron. Acceleration of electrons is recurrent, which formed as a result of pulsed x-ray radiation. In each period, the electrons in the first stage injections in camera 5 betatron. At the second stage, the electrons are accelerated in the direction of their circular orbits due to the increasing current in the coils 6a and 6b of the main field and, thus, increasing the magnetic field in the air gap between the parts 2a and 2b internal yoke. At the third stage of accelerated electrons emitted by a target for the formation of x-ray radiation. Then there is a optional pause before the electrons re injections in camera 5 betatron. For the orbits of electrons in the cell 5 betatron operates above the condition of Wideroe determined that the centripetal force compensates Lorentz. The radius r s , which satisfies the equation is a stable fixed radius of the orbit, which are moving electrons. Electronic gun injects the electrons with the famous opening angle, the distribution of electrons over this angle of opening is not usually constant. In addition, electronic gun injects the electron radius r l different from the specified radius r s orbit. So, first of all, it is necessary to transfer electrons with radius injection r l for a given orbit radius r s . For this are both coils 7a and 7b compression and expansion (CF-coil), which are located between the end of the parties parts 2a or 2b internal yoke and Luggage 5 betatron. CF-coil shown on the figure 1 three spiral coils, however, may any other implementation. Radius CF-coils 7a and 7b essentially equal to the radius r s orbits of electrons in the cell 5 betatron. Effective spatial stretched location CF-coils 7a and 7b their outer edges slightly extend for a specified radius r s orbit. The exact size and location of the CF-coils is given to the discretion of carrying out the invention of a specialist. However, it should be observed that the inner radius of the CF-coils 7a and 7b is the large external radius of the round 3 plates for magnetic field created by them passed through part of the area outside the round 3 plates. Median axis CF-coils 7a and 7b coincide with the axis of rotational symmetry internal yoke. Into force of this location and the size of the CF-coils 7a and 7b they created a magnetic field passes through circular surface, the radius of which is more radius of round plates and is about 3 in the sphere of given radius r s orbit. The figure 2 shows the qualitative characteristic changes forces are represented by a continuous line of the magnetic field B, depending on the radius measured from the axis of rotational symmetry internal yoke, and radius r l electrons injection. Because of magnetized material round plates 3 receive approximately constant magnetic field within the round 3 plates. The magnetic field in the air outside the round plates are significantly smaller and, in addition, decreases with increasing radius. When presented magnetic field is shown in figure 2 a specified radius r s orbit satisfies the condition of Wideroe. If the current, so-called pulse compression is served in the CF-coil 7a and 7b, you get shown in figure 2, the dashed line qualitative characteristics B'(r) the strength of the magnetic field depending on the radius, as a superposition of the magnetic field coils 6a, 6b main field and CF-coils 7a, 7b. With this result magnetic field condition of Wideroe runs on a modified specified radius r s ' orbit. This implies that electrons are keen on having the form of a spiral orbit of radius r l injection modified on the specified radius r s ' orbit. Thus electrons cross, for example, depending on the angle of their injection into the camera 5 betatron, the desired preset radius r s orbit at different times. The electrons, which in the end of the pulse compression are at the desired radius r s orbit or next to it, then accelerated in the area. Thus, by selecting the time of the completion of the pulse compression, you can choose what part of the opening angle electron guns are electrons that are accelerated to the desired final energy. This way, you can maximize and to adjust the intensity of x-ray radiation generated by the betatron 1. At the end of the process of acceleration coil 6a and 6b of the main fields form a magnetic field B(r), qualitatively shown in figure 3 by a continuous line, the characteristic of which essentially corresponds to the magnetic field on the figure 2. However, due to higher current through the coil 6a and 6b of the main field, magnetic field significantly stronger. In addition, the material burdens and/or round wafer is the non-linear curve hysteresis. Therefore, in case of power on the CP-coil 7a and 7b through the so-called impulse expansion get shown as a broken line on the figure 3 the applied magnetic field B(r). Proceeding from this the applied magnetic field, the changed specified radius r s ' orbit satisfies the condition of Wideroe. This implies that electrons on having the form of a spiral orbit drift from the actual during acceleration specified radius r s orbit in the direction of the modified specified radius r s ' orbit. During the drift of moving electrons fall into the target and generate this x-ray emission. Not shown in the figures of the x-ray detector detects the intensity of the generated x-ray radiation and regularly transmits the information about the intensity in the electronic circuit 8 management. It measures the intensity and determines on the basis of this evaluation, the duration and the time of pulse compression and expansion for the next period of acceleration of electrons. \1.
