Field of the Invention This invention relates to a short arc type discharge lamp (hereinafter referred to as "discharge lamp j"), and more particularly to an anode structure of a short arc type discharge lamp. A conventional discharge lamp includes a quartz glass light-emitting tube that is bulged at a center portion, and an anode and a cathode disposed inside the bulging portion of the light-emitting tube. The anode has a front end with respect to the cathode. a flat front end face. The cathode is formed in a conical shape which is tapered toward the outer diameter of the front end with respect to the front end of the anode. When the discharge lamp is energized, the electrons emitted from the cathode collide with the gas in the lamp to generate a charge. The charged particles are substances that are repeatedly slammed into the interior of the arc tube, for example, mercury becomes a plasma state, and an arc is formed between the two poles. Further, electrons in the plasma flow on the anode side, and collide with The front end face of the anode. The front end face of the anode that is subjected to electron collision is flat, so the electric field strength at the central portion of the anode is stronger than that of the peripheral portion, and is strongly electric field. Leading current into the central portion of the anode, it is known that the central portion of the anode becomes high temperature and evaporation is consumed. Thus, when the anode is consumed, the evaporated anode constituent material is attached to the inner wall of the arc tube, and a blackened luminous tube is produced. Inconvenient in the inner wall surface. In addition, when the inner wall surface of the arc tube is blackened, the radiation beam from the discharge lamp is lowered, and the radiation illuminance necessary for the irradiation surface is insufficient, so that the discharge lamp must be replaced with a new product. -5 - 1364775 When the discharge lamp is turned on, the temperature of the anode is suppressed from rising, and the consumption of the anode is delayed, and the inner wall teeth of the arc tube are blackened. In order to obtain a high irradiance maintenance rate, conventional measures have been taken. In the patent document 1, it is disclosed that an anode formed by sintering a mixture of tungsten carbide (WC) and carbonized giant (TaC) and tungsten (W) on the side surface of the tip end portion of the anode to form a porous layer is disclosed. Since the porous layer is excellent in adhesion to the base material, it is possible to appropriately suppress the temperature rise of the anode, and it is possible to reduce the consumption of the anode and the blackening of the inner wall surface of the arc tube. Further, as shown in Fig. 7, in Patent Documents 2, 3 and 4, a concave portion 81 is provided at a distal end portion of the anode 80 of the cathode 90. This concave portion 81 is formed to be close to each other. The intensity of the electric field generated from the electrons emitted from the cathode 90. According to these documents, the current density distribution on the surface of the anode 80 is dispersed, the consumption of the anode 80 is reduced, and the blackening of the inner wall surface of the arc tube is delayed. Thus, a high irradiance maintenance rate can be obtained, and the life of the discharge lamp can be extended. The techniques of the patent documents disclosed in these 1 to 4 are all extended to extend the life of the discharge lamp, that is, to maintain the irradiance.

In addition, the inventors of the present invention have conducted a review of the discharge lamp # which provides a high radiation intensity, that is, a high radiation beam, in addition to the high irradiance maintenance rate of the conventional lamp, and it is a Japanese wish 2009- before the application. 1 5465 No. 1 for patent application. This patent application is also abbreviated as follows. The anode inner wall surface, the flat anode inner bottom surface, and the concave portion formed by the annular corner portion are provided on the anode front end surface, so that the distance between each point of the concave portion and the cathode electrode is changed, and the position of the anode central axis is changed. The two points of the position of the annular corner portion can maintain the peak of the electric field intensity, and the peak of the electric field intensity at the position of the central axis of the anode is the electric field strength at which the radiation of the discharge lamp can be maintained and the position of the annular corner portion is maintained. The peak of the degree of ® is to attract electrons and increase the current density of this part to alleviate the concentration of local currents in a part of the front end surface of the anode, and to suppress the consumption of the anode. Hereinafter, the contents of the above patent application will be described in detail based on Figs. 1 and 2 . Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the structure of a discharge lamp. The discharge lamp 1 具备 includes an arc tube 1 1 formed in a spherical shape, and an arc tube composed of straight tubular seal portions 12A and 12B which are continuous at both ends of the light-emitting portion 11 . The arc tube is integrally formed, for example, by quartz glass. In the sealed portions 1364775, the caps 12A and 12B are respectively provided with caps 13A and 1BB for feeding the cylindrical shape. In the discharge space S formed inside the arc tube, the cathode 2 and the anode 3 are disposed opposite to each other on the anode center axis L, and a luminescent material is sealed. The luminescent material is at least one type in which helium gas, argon gas, and helium gas are enclosed, and mercury. As the luminescent material, only one of these rare gases and mercury may be enclosed. The cathode 2 is formed by integrally forming a cylindrical crotch portion 2A that is held by the sealing portion i2A and faces the discharge space S by tungsten or the like, and a conical shape in which the outer diameter is tapered toward the front end continuously in the crotch portion 2A. Front end portion 2B. The anode 3 is formed of, for example, tungsten in which a cylindrical crotch portion 3 A is integrally formed, and truncated cone portions 3B and 3C which are formed continuously on the front end side and the rear end side of the crotch portion 3A, respectively. In the truncated cone 3C on the rear end side, a rod-shaped lead portion (not shown) having a smaller diameter than the crotch portion 3 A is integrally formed, and the lead portion is held in the sealing portion 12B » The anode 3 is 30 to 100 mm in total length. The diameter of the crotch portion 3A is 20 to 40 mm, the diameter of the tip end of the truncated cone portion 3B is 5 to 20 mm, and the diameter of the rear end of the truncated cone portion 3B is 20 to 40 mm. The distance between the electrodes between the cathode 2 and the anode 3 is 3 to 40 mm. Fig. 2(A) is a cross-sectional view showing an enlarged cross section including the anode central axis L. Fig. 2(B) is a front view of the front end surface of the anode as viewed from the direction indicated by the arrow B of the second (A) diagram. The anode 3 is a truncated cone portion 3B having a smaller outer diameter toward the front end, and an anode front end surface 3D is formed at a front end portion of the truncated cone portion 3B, and a concave portion 30 is formed on the anode central axis L of the anode front end surface 3D. . 1364775 The shape of the recess 30 is described. The recess 30 has an anode inner wall surface 3 壁 which is formed in a circumferential direction from the anode front end surface 3D, and is continuously formed on the anode inner wall surface 30 A. The anode center axis L is expanded at a right angle in the radial direction, and the anode inner bottom surface 30B of the flatly formed wall and the anode front end surface 3D and the anode inner wall surface 30A are separated from the anode center axis L in the radial direction. The annular corner portion 30C formed in the circumferential direction is formed by the three recesses 30 formed by the anode front end surface 3D toward the inner side of the anode 3 #. Since the concave portion 30 has such a shape, the overall shape thereof is a rectangular shape including a cylindrical central axis L, that is, a cylindrical shape. Further, the recessed portion 30 is not limited to the cylindrical shape, and may be in the shape of a rotating truncated cone. A discharge lamp using an anode of such a shape is such that when a high voltage is applied between the cathode and the anode, an arc is formed between the electrodes. The anode 3 shown in Fig. 2 is provided with a flat anode inner bottom surface 30B which is lower than the anode front end surface 3D toward the inner side of the anode. The closer the anode bottom surface 30B is to the anode central axis L, the more the electric field is. The intensity becomes higher. Further, since the annular corner portion 30C is provided at a position spaced apart from the anode central axis L in the radial direction, the electric field strength is also high in the device. Thus, the anode 3 is The position of both the anode central axis L and the annular corner portion 30C is such that the electric field intensity is high, and the electrons generated from the cathode 2 are dispersed in the anode central axis L and the annular corner portion 30C, respectively, and are attracted. The amount of electrons on the anode central axis L is reduced. The peak of the electric field intensity 1364775 at the position of the anode central axis L of the anode inner bottom surface 30B is to maintain the brightness of the discharge lamp, and the peak of the electric field intensity at the position of the annular corner portion is to attract electrons and increase this portion. The current slows down the concentration of the local current on the front end surface of the anode, and acts to suppress the consumption of the anode. Fig. 8 is a view showing a discharge lamp (hereinafter referred to as an anode shown in Fig. 2) for a concave portion formed with an anode inner bottom surface and an annular inner bottom surface of the anode inner wall surface and the annular portion described in paragraphs 00 10 to 0015 (hereinafter, The electric field intensity in the arc, each of which is referred to as "light 1") and a discharge lamp (hereinafter referred to as "light 2") of the anode shown in Fig. 7 having a concave portion close to the electric field intensity described in paragraph 0006 The simulation result of the distribution is shown in Fig. 8 as the vertical axis representing the electric field strength, and the horizontal axis is the distance from the anode central axis L, the solid line is the anode electric field strength of the lamp 1, and the broken line is the anode electric field strength of the lamp 2. As shown by the solid line in Fig. 8, in the anode of the lamp 1, the sharp peak of the electric field intensity is displayed at the position of the anode central axis L and the position corresponding to the annular corner portion 30C of the recess 30, and the arc is estimated. The electrons in the center are concentrated on the anode central axis L and the annular corner portion 30C. On the other hand, in the anode of the lamp 2, since such a peak is not observed, the ratio of the current drawn to the edge portion 82 of the concave portion 81 is small. In this manner, the lamp 1 is appropriately raised by the flat anode bottom surface 30B, the current density of the anode center axis L is such that the anode is not consumed, so that the radiance becomes high, and by having the anode center axis L The annular corner portion 30C formed at the outer side in the radial direction is dispersed in the annular corner portion 30C, and the concentration of the local current on the anode central axis L is moderated, and -10- 1 775775 can suppress the anode. Consumption ' can be used to achieve high irradiance maintenance rate. Therefore, the lamp 1 can be made to have a high irradiance maintenance rate while maintaining the radiance while being compared with the lamp 2. The above is the content of Japan's special wish 2009-154651. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As described above, the discharge lamp of the lamp 1 disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-1 5465 No. 1 does not sufficiently satisfy the requirements required for the light source used in the exposure apparatus. That is, even in a discharge lamp of high radiance, the discharge lamp of a low irradiance maintenance rate causes the inner wall surface of the arc tube to be blackened in a short time, and the radiation beam necessary for the lamp cannot be obtained in a short time. The life is shortened and the discharge lamp must be replaced frequently. This is in addition to the cumbersomeness of the replacement work, and the time until the stop time (stop time) of the replacement exposure device or the exposure device after the lamp is turned back to a stable temperature becomes unusable for exposure. Time, but there is a problem of becoming an exposure device with poor productivity. Further, even in the discharge lamp having a high irradiance maintenance rate, if the emission luminance of the ultraviolet light is small, the exposure amount necessary for the exposure cannot be satisfied, and as a result, the exposure time becomes long and there is a problem that the exposure apparatus is inferior in productivity. As such, in the exposure process, it is required to shorten the exposure time, that is, to increase the throughput. Contributing to shortening the exposure time and in order to help improve the productivity of the exposure project, the discharge lamp is also required to have a larger amount of total radiation of ultraviolet light that is emitted between its certain lighting time. -11 - 1364775 射量" ^ In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a short arc type discharge lamp used in an exposure apparatus, which can maintain a high irradiance maintenance rate while maintaining the radiance. A discharge lamp that improves the productivity of the exposure apparatus by creating a lamp that has a large amount of "integrated radiation amount". Here, consider the relationship between the amount of accumulated radiation and the radiance or radiation beam. When the radiance distribution of the arc is B, the "radiation beam emitted from the arc" L is obtained by integrating the area (ds) and the solid angle (ίΙΩ) as shown by the following formula (1). Radiation distribution B.

式(1) L=JiBdsdQ 「從點燈初期電弧所放射的放射束」LQ,是經由發光 管被取出之故,因而「從經過某一時間後的燈所放射的放 射束」h,是若將發光管的穿透率作爲T時,則如以下的 式(2 )所示地,以放射束L〇與穿透率T之積所表示。(1) L = JiBdsdQ "The radiation beam emitted from the arc at the beginning of the lighting" LQ is taken out through the arc tube, so "the radiation beam emitted from the lamp after a certain period of time" h is When the transmittance of the arc tube is T, it is expressed by the product of the radiation beam L〇 and the transmittance T as shown by the following formula (2).

式(2) L 1 =LoT 此穿透率T是大大地起因於來自陽極等的蒸發物隨著 時間附著於發光管所致的黑化或光的散射之故,因而置換 成以點燈時間的函數所表示的放射照度維持率7? (t) ( % ) 而可作成近似。因此,在時刻t的「從燈所放射的放射束 」L ! (t)是以 式(3) ί,(〇 = Ι,0Τ(ι) = ί0^ 1364775 所表示。 紫外線的總放射量的「積算放射量6」,是以時刻t 的「從燈所放射的放射束」(t)的時間積分所表示之故, 因而成爲表示於以下的式(4)。 式(4) Φ = |L,(t)dt = JL0T(t)dt = JL〇 在此,放射照度維持率々(t)是密接地關連於對發光管 φ 內面的上述蒸發物的堆積而以單純的指數函數可作成近似 之故,因而若將點燈t〇時間後的放射照度維持率作爲?? (t〇) ( % ),則以以下的式(5)可表示具衰減常數。Formula (2) L 1 =LoT This transmittance T is greatly caused by blackening or scattering of light caused by evaporation of an evaporate from an anode or the like over time, and thus is replaced by lighting time. The illuminance maintenance rate represented by the function is 7? (t) (%) and can be approximated. Therefore, at the time t, "the radiation beam emitted from the lamp" L ! (t) is expressed by the equation (3) ί, (〇 = Ι, 0 Τ (ι) = ί0^ 1364775. The total amount of ultraviolet radiation The "integrated amount of radiation 6" is expressed by the time integral of "the radiation beam emitted from the lamp" (t) at time t, and is expressed by the following equation (4).

A short arc type discharge lamp according to claim 1, wherein an anode and a cathode are disposed opposite to each other in the arc tube, and a voltage is applied between the anode 13-13648775 and the cathode to generate an arc. The arc discharge lamp is characterized in that: the anode is formed with a concave portion on an anode central axis of the anode front end surface; the concave portion is formed by an anode inner wall surface which is formed in a circumferential direction below the anode front end surface, and is continuously formed in the above An anode inner bottom surface which is formed to be diffused in the radial direction of the anode central axis and which is formed in the radial direction, and a ring which is formed in the circumferential direction from the anode central axis in the radial direction and on the boundary between the anode front end surface and the anode inner wall surface The concave portion formed by the three corners is formed from the inner end surface of the anode toward the inner side of the electrode, and the index indicating the size of the arc is DO, and the diameter of the concave portion is taken as D1 ( When mm), the ratio 値D1/D0 is 0.25 S D1/D0S 1.2, and the index D0 indicating the magnitude of the above arc is D0=1.4 + as defined by the following formula. 2.5(Ρ-1,6)0·5 However, P: lamp power (kW) The short arc type discharge lamp described in the second paragraph of the patent application is the short arc type discharge lamp described in the first item of the patent application. The depth of the above-mentioned concave portion is 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, which is characteristic. In the short arc type discharge lamp of the present invention, the anode has a concave portion formed on the anode central axis of the anode front end surface, and the concave portion includes an anode inner wall surface, a flat anode inner bottom surface, and a radial outer direction from the anode central axis. Separated rings - 14 - 1364775 corners. Thereby, the radiance can be maintained, and a lamp having a high irradiance maintenance rate can be obtained. Further, 値〇1/0 0 indicating the ratio of the index DO of the arc formed between the anode and the cathode and the diameter D1 (mm) of the recess provided in the anode is such that the relationship of 0.25$01/0 0$1.2 is satisfied. , you can get a lamp with a large amount of radiation. Further, the depth of the concave portion of the anode is from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, and it is possible to surely improve both the radiance and the irradiance maintenance rate. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a discharge lamp of the present invention will be described using a drawing. The configuration of the discharge lamp is the same as the description of paragraphs 0010 to 〇〇15 and the contents of Figs. 1 and 2, and therefore the description of this portion is omitted. When a high voltage is applied between the cathode 2 and the anode 3 of the discharge lamp 10, an insulation breakdown occurs between the two electrodes, and an electric beta arc AR is formed between the cathode 2 and the anode 3. A commemorative diagram of the arc AR is shown in Fig. 3. The arc AR is expanded or contracted depending on the lamp power P (kW) and centered on the anode center axis L. That is, as the lamp power becomes larger, the arc AR expands and becomes larger, and if the lamp power becomes smaller, the arc AR shrinks and becomes smaller. If the size of the recess 30 is made constant, the arc AR exceeds the annular angle of the recess 30. The portion 30C also extends to the anode front end surface 3D or also to the inner side of the annular corner portion 30C of the recess portion 30. If 値D1/D0 of the ratio of the size D1 of the concave portion 30 to the magnitude D0 of the arc AR is obtained from the relationship between the size of the concave portion 30 and the arc AR, the 値 ratio of -15-1364775 indicates that the arc AR covers the anode. When the number of the recesses 30 of the front end surface is changed, that is, the extent to which the arc AR covers the recess 30 is changed, the annular corner portion 30C affects the effect of attracting a part of the electric current, and occurs. The flow of electrons between the electrodes is affected, so that the amount of radiation changes. Therefore, the ratio 値D1/D0 of the ratio of the size of the recess 30 to the magnitude of the arc AR is closely related to the "integrated amount of radiation" described in paragraph 0022, and it is possible to find the most appropriate amount of the calculated amount of radiation. The range is a function of D1/D0. Here, the size D1 of the concave portion is an index for indicating the degree of coverage by the arc, and it is necessary to compare the size of the D 1 with the arc, and the size D1 of the concave portion is the diameter of the concave portion, that is, the annular corner portion is used. diameter of. In the following, it is reviewed how to specify the size of the arc. Arc is the field in which the enclosure is plasmaized. It is difficult to measure, and its size is specified. Next, for example, the arc is of course connected to the current density distribution, and the current density distribution can be regarded as a form of arc distribution. Therefore, the current density distribution was measured to determine the magnitude of the arc. However, it is difficult to directly measure the current density distribution strictly, and the current density distribution is continuously changed. Therefore, even by this current density distribution, it is difficult to clearly determine the distribution of the arc and the size of the arc cannot be specified. . In this way, it is extremely difficult or impossible to specify the "size of the arc" by the measurement of the "current density distribution". However, the current density distribution of the arc is closely related to the radiance distribution -16 - 1364775, and the "radiance distribution" is measured. Not only can we see the current density distribution j of the arc, but also the "size of the arc". Next, the measurement of the radiance distribution is performed. When the luminescent material is mercury, when a high voltage is applied between the cathode 2 and the anode 3, the electrons emitted from the cathode 2 collide with the atoms of the mercury enclosed in the discharge space S, and the atoms of the mercury become excited. When the excitation state is shifted to the lower energy state, various radiations are emitted. The emitted light is passed through a band pass filter of a specific wavelength of, for example, a wavelength of 3 to 65 nm, to obtain a luminance distribution of the radiation. The luminance distribution of the ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 365 nm is a luminance distribution in the radial direction of an arbitrary point on the central axis L of the electrode, and is shown in Fig. 4. The outline of this distribution is such that the radiance is j (r) and the distance from the central axis of the electrode in the radial direction is r, which is approximated by the following formula (7). Equation (7) J (r) = J〇exp[―(r/r〇) 2] φ where 'Jo is the radiance at the center of the arc, and r<) is the radiance Jo from the center decays to Ι/ The distance (mm) from the center at e (and 0.37). The above formula (7) of the radiance distribution indicates that most of the current flowing through the arc is concentrated within the distance from the center distance r<) of the electrode. If 2r〇 obtained by twice this r〇 is assumed to be “imaginary diameter”, then 2r〇 can be used as “indicator indicating the size of the arc” DO. However, the actual size of the arc is extended by the fact that the "indicator of the arc size" DO of the virtual diameter is exceeded. As described above, 'the index indicating the arc size is obtained from the radiance distribution'. However, it is necessary to obtain the -17-1364775 index indicating the arc size every time. Troublesome. However, the inventors have focused on finding out that the radiance distribution is strongly related to the lamp input power, whereby the relationship between the lamp power and the radiance distribution is obtained in advance, and it can be used whenever necessary. Excluding the nuisance of measuring the radiance distribution, the "indicating the magnitude of the arc" can be obtained from the lamp power. 〇 In order to obtain a review of the relationship between the lamp power and the "indicator indicating the arc size", the following experiment was performed. However, the arc is changed in shape by the physical shape of the front end of the electrode. When a discharge lamp having an electrode having a concave portion on the front end surface of the anode is used, and the above-described index is to be produced, the arc is different from the concave portion in the lamp having a different size of each concave portion. In this way, for each lamp, the "indicator indicating the size of the arc" DO will be different and the indicator as the reference cannot be used. The "indicator indicating the size of the arc" D 0 is the standard for the indicator, so it must be changed without change. In this manner, the arc is not affected by the shape of the tip end of the anode, and a "discharge indicating the size of the arc" DO is produced using a discharge lamp such as a flat ordinary anode having no concave portion, and this is used as a reference index. Then, the experimental discharge lamps A1 to A5 for producing the "indicator indicating the arc size" DO were used as a flat ordinary anode having no concave portion on the front end surface of the anode. Further, five kinds of experimental discharge lamps A1 to A5 were produced by changing the amount of mercury enclosed and the distance between the electrodes. The experimental discharge lamps A1 to A5 were lighted by the lamp power P shown in Table 1, and the radiance distribution of the arc near the anode was measured. The radiance distribution of the -18-1364775 was fed according to the equation (7). R() is obtained by electricity, and 値 of "the index indicating the size of the arc" DO is obtained. The experimental results of these are shown in Table 1. [Table 1] Experimental discharge lamp mercury amount (mg/cm3) Distance between electrodes (mm) Lamp power P (kW) 1 Indicates the index of the arc size D0 A1 5 5 2 3 A2 30 5 4.3 5.2 A3 36 16 16 11 A4 30 22 25 13.5 A5 25 32 35 16 Hereinafter, the relationship between the "indicator indicating the arc size" DO and the lamp power P (kW) in Table 1 is indicated by a circle symbol in Fig. 5. The equation of the approximate curve indicating the circle symbol shown in Fig. 5 is obtained, and the following formula (8) is obtained. (8) DO = l. 4 + 2. 5 (P-1. 6) 〇- s From the equation (8), for the lamp known to the lamp power P (kW), even if the radiance distribution is not measured, The "indicator indicating the size of the arc" DO can be obtained. In this way, if the "indicator indicating the arc size" DO is determined from the lamp power p ( kW ), as described in paragraph 003 0, the variable 値D1/D0 is used as the variable, so that it is possible to find the optimum amount of the accumulated amount of @. range. Next, an experiment for obtaining the integrated amount of radiation was performed by 値D1/D0 of the ratio of the diameter D 1 of the concave portion to the "indicator indicating the size of the arc" DO. -19- 1364775 (Example 1) When the experiment was carried out, the discharge lamps B1 to B10 for the preparation of the test lamps B1 to B10 for the test were prepared, and the basic configuration of the lamps (the basic configuration of the lamps B1 to B10) shown below was established. • Depth of the recess of the anode 3: 0.4 mm • Amount of mercury: 2 5 mg/cm3 • Helium gas: 2xl〇5Pa at room temperature • Distance between electrodes L: 5.5mm • Lamp power P: 7.5kW (constant power) Anode of each lamp In the front end surface, there is a concave portion formed by the anode inner bottom surface and the annular corner portion which are formed flat on the anode inner wall surface. However, the size of the concave portion is as shown in Table 2, and the "indicator indicating the arc size" D0 is値D 1 /D 0 of the ratio of the diameter D 1 ( mm ) of the concave portion 30 is made different as a comparative example, and a ratio of the prepared 値D1/D0 is also zero, that is, a comparison with an anode having no concave portion is prepared. Use discharge lamp X. The comparative discharge lamp X has the same basic configuration as the experimental discharge lamp B except that the front end surface of the anode has no concave portion. The lamp lamps for the experimental discharge lamps B1 to B10 and the comparison discharge lamp X are 7.5 kW. Therefore, the "indicator indicating the arc size" DO is obtained by substituting P = 7.5 into the equation (8) of the paragraph 0037. And found d〇= 7.5 -20- 1364775 For the experimental discharge lamp B1~ΒΙΟ and the comparative discharge lamp X, after the initial lighting and 800 hours of constant power lighting, the ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 365 nm is measured. Radiation. Take this as experiment a. The "radiation illuminance retention rate (%)" in Table 2 is the ratio of the illuminance after lighting for 800 hours of the illuminance at the beginning of the lighting. Further, the discharge lamp B1 to B10 for lighting experiments and the discharge lamp X for comparison are used, and the radiance of ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 365 nm at the initial stage of lighting is measured for each discharge lamp, by the formula (1) of paragraph 0022. The integration of the radiance is obtained by the radiation beam L at the beginning of the lighting. This was taken as experiment b. Further, in Table 2, the ratio of the radiation beam at the initial stage of the lighting of the experimental discharge lamp B for the radiation beam at the initial stage of the lighting of the comparison discharge lamp X is obtained from the result of the experiment b, and this relative 値 is described as "relative radiation beam". The "integrated radiation amount" is obtained from the equation (6) of the paragraph 0022 using the "radiation illuminance maintenance ratio (%)" and the "relative radiation beam" in Table 2. In addition, the maximum relative enthalpy of the total amount of radiation is expressed as the relative relative total amount of radiation. Further, as is clear from the equation (6), in calculating the total amount of radiation, "the radiation beam emitted from the arc at the initial stage of lighting" is required. For the sake of caution, the relationship between the radiation beam and the "radiation beam emitted from the lamp at the beginning of lighting" will be described. In the equation (3) of the paragraph 0022, the state at the initial stage of lighting is that the time t is 〇, and thus T(t) is about 1 at T(0), and becomes LJO^Lo. Therefore, the radiation beam at the beginning of the lighting of each lamp which can be obtained in the experiment b is "the radiation beam emitted from the lamp at the beginning of the period from -21 to 1364775", but the radiation beam is actually equivalent to "The radiation beam emitted from the arc at the beginning of lighting" L0. Therefore, in the "radiation beam emitted from the arc at the initial stage of lighting" of the equation (6), it can be understood that the enthalpy of the radiation beam at the initial stage of lighting of each lamp obtained in the experiment b can be calculated. [Table 2] 値D1/D0 illuminance maintenance ratio (%) of the ratio of the diameter D1 (mm) of the concave portion of the discharge lamp for comparison and experiment.

The vertical axis is the relative integrated radiation amount, and the horizontal axis is the ratio 値D1/DO. In the field where the ratio 値D1/D0 is small, the relative integrated radiation amount hardly changes, increasing from around 0.2, and becoming maximum at around 0.65, and then decreasing. The ratio 値D1/D0 is about 1.2, which is the same as the case where the ratio 値D1/D0 is 0, and then decreases. -22- 1364775 In the case where no concave portion is provided at the tip end portion of the electrode, that is, when the ratio 値 D1/DO is 0, the relative amount of accumulated radiation is 0.959. When the range of 値 above 0.959 is exceeded, a discharge lamp having a relatively larger amount of radiation than an anode having no recess can be produced. Therefore, as a range in which the relative amount of radiation is effective, it is known that the ratio 値D1/D0 is 0.25 to 1.2. Further, if the ratio 値D1/D0 is 0.3 9 to 1.1, and the integrated radiation amount indicates a higher enthalpy, a more remarkable effect can be obtained. # Further, the depth Η of the recess 30 is preferably 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm. The reason is as follows. When the depth Η of the concave portion 30 exceeds 0.5 mm, the distance between the electrodes becomes long, and thus the lamp voltage rises. The short arc type discharge lamp 10 uses a constant power source as a power source for lighting. Therefore, as described above, when the lamp voltage rises, the lamp current supplied between the cathode and the anode is controlled to be lowered. Reduced situation. Reducing such radiance is more pronounced as the depth of the recess 30 is deeper. In the case of Φ, if the depth Η of the concave portion 30 is less than 0.1 mm, the concave portion 30 is substantially absent, and the effect of concentration of the electric field intensity at the annular corner portion is not obtained, and a high irradiance maintenance ratio cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is preferable to reduce the radiance of the discharge lamp as much as possible, and to obtain a high irradiance maintenance ratio, it is preferable to set the depth Η of the concave portion 30 to 0.1 mm to 0.5 m.
