Abstract

A target is for generating X-ray radiation by way of loading with a particle stream containing charged particles. In an embodiment, the target includes a layer structure including at least two metallic layers. A target surface, loadable by the particle stream, is formed by a first layer of the at least two metallic layers of the layer structure including a material including a first metallic element. A second layer of the at least two metallic layers of the layer structure includes a material including a second metallic element. Finally, an ordinal number of the first metallic element is less than an ordinal number of the second metallic element.
