A Compact Mobile Neutron Generator
Abstract
Through fitting the high voltage terminal from introducing overseas and pulse system et al.from oneself developing together,a compact mobile neutron generator is established.The length and weight of this neutron generator are 2 500 mm and less than 1 t,respectively.It can be expediently moved to the location which is required by experimental people.It is consisted of RF ion source,acceleration tube,high voltage generator,focus device,microsecond pulse system,gas leak system,control system,vacuum system and experimen- tal target.It can produce 150μA continuous deuterium ion beam current,also can produce the pulse deuterium ion beam current.The pulse widths are 10～100μs and frequencies 10 Hz,1 000 Hz,10 000 Hz.The D-T neutron yields of the neutron generator may arrive 1.5×10~(10)s~(-1).The working principle and the structure of the main parts of this neutron generator are described.
