PULSE-OPERATED NEUTRON GENERATOR Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: physical instrumentation engineering. SUBSTANCE: generator has case 1 accommodating coaxially mounted neutron tube 2, high-voltage pulsing transformer, and magnetic shield. Inner layer of multilayer winding 3 is made of magnetic material wire 5 and functions in addition as generator magnetic shield. EFFECT: reduced mass and size of generator due to specific design features, improved neutron output due to reduced distance from target electrode 8 of tube 2 to case 1, improved spectrum characteristics. 1 dwg
