Problems solved by technology

In these two patents, the outgoing neutron beams are drawn perpendicular to the direction of the ion beam, and the neutron flux in this direction is generally only about 1 / 2 of the front end of the ion beam, and most of the neutrons produced cannot be effectively utilized
On the other hand, the two patents need to introduce scanning magnetic field, electric quadrupole field and target moving drive mechanism, etc., which increases the complexity of the device

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear technology and application, in particular to a miniaturized high-current neutron generator. Background technique [0002] The deuterium-tritium neutron source uses the ion source to generate a deuterium or deuterium-tritium mixed ion beam. The ion beam obtains a certain amount of energy under the action of an accelerating electric field, bombards the target body, and undergoes a fusion reaction on the target body to generate the required neutrons. . The deuterium-tritium neutron source has a high yield of neutrons, no neutrons are generated after the power is turned off, it is easy to use, has good controllability and high safety. [0003] Compared with compact movable neutron sources, the advantages of large fixed neutron sources are high neutron yield and large irradiation volume. Testing needs. [0004] In neutron radiography, neutron therapy, etc., it is usually required that the neutron flux be as h...
