Hi,

Une autre solution technique pour créer des faisceaux de rayons X à haut flux consiste à utiliser un dispositif comprenant un anneau de stockage d’électrons relativiste, ou bien un ensemble d’un ou deux accélérateurs linéaires à récupération d’énergie.”

intense


Explanation:
Since high flux implies that the concentration of X-ray photons is high (the speed of light being constant), this would equate to an "intense" X-ray beam, which I believe is a more natural EN expression.
