Abstract

The invention provides a gas discharging type ion source for a neutron pipe, belonging to the technical field of an accelerator. The gas discharging type ion source comprises magnetic steel, a lower cathode board, an anode cylinder, an upper cathode board, a magnetic ring, a foam metal active thin board and a lead-out electrode. When the gas discharging type ion source works, the anode cylinder is externally connected with pulse power voltage, and an upper cathode and a lower cathode are connected in series and then are externally connected with the pulse power voltage. The foam metal active thin board is connected with a low-voltage power supply relative to the upper cathode; and the lead-out electrode is externally connected with the high-voltage pulse power supply relative to a grate. Deuterium molecular ions emitted from the lower cathode can be converted to be deuterium atomic ions in foam metal due to the catalytic action of the foam metal active thin board, and a ratio of a deuterium atomic ion beam to a deuterium molecular ion beam can be tested by using an cyclotronic mass spectrometer after the deuterium atomic ions are accelerated by using the lead-out electrode. With the adoption of the gas discharging type ion source provided by the invention, the hydrogen (including isotopic deuterium or tritium) atomic ion beam with a high ratio can be output from the lead-out electrode, so that if the ion source is used in the neutron pipe, the service life of the neutron pipe can be prolonged, and the neutron yield is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gas discharge ion source, in particular to a gas discharge ion source specially used for emitting monatomic hydrogen (deuterium, tritium) ion beams, and belongs to the technical field of accelerators. Background technique [0002] The neutron tube is a safe and portable neutron source. Compared with ordinary isotope neutron sources, it has better energy spectrum monochromaticity, no gamma background and can generate pulsed neutrons. It can be turned off when not in use, so it is easy to protect , Storage management and transportation are convenient. The neutron tube integrates the ion source, accelerator, target and air pressure regulation system in a closed tube, and does not need vacuum pumping equipment and gas source device during operation. Neutron tubes can be widely used in national defense engineering, industry, agriculture, and medicine, especially in the fields of military industry and safety inspection. When neut...
