Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to an improved neutron source that can be shut off, and in particular relates to a ceramic neutron tube of a Penning negative ion source.
[0002] Background technique
[0002] At present, the neutron tubes produced in China all use the Penning (PIG) ββion source that extracts positive ions, and a negative high voltage of -60KV ~ -120KV is added to the target end to reduce the deuterium (D) ions and tritium (T) ions generated by the ion source. accelerated, and a nuclear reaction occurs on the target to produce neutrons. When the ion beam is accelerated, field emission points of electrons are easily formed on the surface of the Faraday cylinder surrounding the target. Some of these electrons hit the ceramic wall, resulting in a decrease in the insulation performance of the ceramic shell. Some hit the ground electrode of the acceleration gap, forming a dark current, which has an adverse effect on the high-voltage power supply. ...
