PULSE GENERATOR OF NEUTRONS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H05H3/06 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: proposed generator consists of pulsed HV voltage source and vacuum chamber including anode and cathode. Anode is composed of a hollow toroidal azimuthal-symmetric structure of two ring-shape plates with outer radius R and inner radius r spaced apart by distance l. At least n pulse heavy hydrogen isotope ion sources are arranged there between where n is not smaller than 3, source height and width being h and f. Cathode is arranged inside anode and aligned therewith and consists of two cylindrical d-diameter magnetic elements arranged in symmetry about anode and space by distance L with lengthwise magnetization to induction of 0.3 < B < 0.6 Tl. Outlets of heavy hydrogen isotope ion sources are directed toward anode axis while sizes R, r, l, L, h, f, d satisfy the preset ratios.

EFFECT: longer life owing to longer life of neutron-forming target.
