The Artemis Project, a facility for high speed cineradiography at high energy will allow spatial and temporal analysis of physical phenomena in streak or framing operation. The Artemis facility will include two parts : a linear electron accelerator (45 to 55 'mev) and an opto-electronic recording system formed by 1 to 3 cameras depending of the observation mode (streak or framing). The linear electron accelerator built by CGR-MeV, will have to deliver a radiation dose at 1 meter higher than - 10 R/ us during a 15/us pulse, - 20 R for each of three 50 ns short pulses in a 15/us period. In the first part, the main desired characteristics of the X-ray source for our radio-graphic purposes are given. The chosen source, a L-Band linear electron accelerator is described in the second part. The projected image recording system is presented in the third part.
