Abstract
941,687. Discharge apparatus. P. W. MARTIN, and S. G. STROUD. Nov. 23, 1961, No. 41896/61. Heading H1D. A neutron generator, e.g. for well logging, comprises a pair of spaced electrodes 35, 38, one of which 35 forms a target built up by ions depleted from the gas filling and an intermediate sleeve electrode 28 surrounded by an axial ring magnet 29. The tube has a deuteriumtritium gas mixture as filling, preferably these gases being in equal proportions and under a low pressure of 0.05 to 5 microns. The filling is replenished by heating a titanium or zirconium coil 46. The coil 46 absorbs hydrogen when cool and so may be used to control the characteristics of the tube. Electrode 38 is a sleeve containing a bar magnet 40 magnetized as shown in relation to the ring magnet 29. In operation the gas is ionized by electrons oscillating within the sleeve 28 and deuterium and tritium ions accelerated to the target 35 accumulate in the target material. As further deuterium and tritium ions are produced these are accelerated to bombard the target producing neutrons by deuterium-tritium and tritium-deuterium reactions. The target is preferably silver, but may be zirconium. Specification 732,893 is referred to.
