Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of accelerator target structures, in particular to a reciprocating dynamic solid target device. Background Art
[0002] Ion beam bombardment of targets is widely used in accelerator neutron source systems. Taking the compact deuterium-deuterium neutron generator as an example, the electrons in the ion source collide with deuterium gas to produce deuterium ions. These ions are accelerated and bombarded onto the target, where they collide with deuterium particles in the target to produce nuclear fusion reactions and neutrons. In this process, the target body is bombarded by the ion beam and also brings a large amount of high heat load. If the ion beam bombards the same point on the target surface for a long time, not only will the target body be damaged to a certain extent due to uneven heating, but it will also consume the titanium film that adsorbs deuterium particles at the bombardment point on the target surface, resulting in a decrease in neutron yield. The traditional rotating target uses a motor to drive the target body to rotate. Although it increases the uniformity of the target surface heating, the target body cannot rotate smoothly due to the vibration characteristics of the motor. At the same time, the vibration also has a certain degree of influence on other components of the accelerator.
[0003] Therefore, how to ensure that the target body can be heated evenly while making the target move smoothly is a problem to be solved. The present application proposes a reciprocating dynamic solid target device. Summary of the invention
