Project of a High Efficiency Small-Sized Laser Neutron Generator
摘要
Abstract
The project of a small-sized pulsed neutron generator with a laser deuteron source with magnetic isolation has been proposed with a modification of a pulsed high-voltage Tesla transformer used as the accelerating voltage source. In this case, the electronic conductivity is suppressed by the magnetic field excited in the primary circuit of the transformer. The electrodynamic parameters of the generator diode system have been estimated. The possibility of neutron generation using the Li(p, n)Be nuclear reaction has been shown, which opens up prospects for the effective use of the neutron generator in radiation therapy.
