Abstract

1,088,088. Producing neutrons. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. March 8, 1966 [March 11, 1965], No. 10314/65. Heading G6P. Neutron generation is effected by the bombardment of tritium and deuterium by a narrow beam of ionized deuterium/tritium gas mixture. Ionization is effected by an R.F. magnetic field to form a plasma and the ions are directed by a D.C. electrostatic field to a target electrode on the surface of which tritium and deuterium are absorbed in a layer of erbium. An axial magnetic field, produced by a solenoid coil, intensifies the plasma. Control electrodes are mounted between the target and plasma. Back-streaming of secondary electrons produced by ion bombardment of the control electrodes is prevented by a disc at the plasma extremity remote from the target. The control electrodes are arranged so as to provide an electrostatic field having a potential distribution shaped to form a trap for secondary electrons. To protect the plasma container and to prevent electrical breakdown, the control electrodes partially overlap so as to prevent direct bombardment from the ion beam.
