Neutron pipe target pole structure with adjustable target distance
The invention relates to the technical field of neutron tubes, in particular to a target pole structure of a neutron tube with an adjustable target distance.
Background
At present, most of neutron tubes work on the principle that ions generated from a plasma region are led out from a leading-out hole, accelerated through a Faraday cylinder, targeted on the surface of a target pole, and reacted to form neutrons. However, since the ions coming out of the acceleration tube are in a beam shape and the distance between the acceleration tube and the target is fixed, the area of the ion beam hitting the target is greatly affected, and neutrons generated by the reaction are relatively less, so that the utilization rate of the target is relatively low.
