PULSE NEUTRON GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC H05H3/06 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices of pulse oscillators-generators of single or multiple pulses of neutron or X-ray radiation. In the claimed pulse neutron generator, switching unit contains step-up transformer with rectifiers for power supply of switching units and neutron tube, circuit for shaping pulse of switch ignition, divider for charge voltage in feedback circuit, and switch. Neutron tube unit contains circuit for generating accelerating voltage pulse to neutron tube, circuit for generating neutron tube ignition pulse and neutron tube. In this device generator body is performed as monolithic parallelepiped where two channels are located from the butt end along sides, in one channel, neutron tube with high-voltage wires and ion source power supply circuit is installed, and in the other channel switching element with accumulating condenser and switching element triggering circuit is installed. Between the channels permeable "П"-shaped cavity is made where power supply and control unit is located, which unit is connected to neutron tube power supply circuit and to switch start pulse generating circuit via non permeable through insulators.

EFFECT: intensity raise, size reduction, increase in stability and resistance to action of wide range of ambient temperatures (-55°C to +70°C) during space flight.
