ACCELERATING NEUTRON TUBE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H05H5/00 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: device contains a sealed case with a cylindrical cathode and a target applied on its surface, which are placed inside the case coaxially, and an anode covered symmetrically by the cathode. At that the anode in the claimed device is made as two butt-placed symmetrical rods with diameter a, at which butt ends there are caps made of deuterated metal and shifted in regard to each other per distance d along the tube axis of symmetry, the cathode diameter b meets inequality 0.2<a/b<0.3 while the anode diameter meets inequality 0.2<a/d<1.0.

EFFECT: improving energetic efficiency of neutron generation.
